<p>Nearly complete results from Sunday’s election for the governorship of the prosperous Emilia-Romagna region had his League party candidate winning only 43.7% of support to the 51.4% garnered by the incumbent governor Stefano Bonaccini from the centre-left Democrats.</p>

<p>The Democrats are in Italy’s national coalition government led by Premier Giuseppe Conte.</p>

<p>But the big loser in that regional vote was the populist 5-Star Movement, which is Mr Conte’s main coalition partner. The 5-Stars, who are the largest party in Italy’s national Parliament, tanked at some 3.5% of the vote.</p>
<p>Their poor showing, the latest slump in fortunes since their triumph in the 2018 national election, could worsen infighting in the 5-Stars and weaken their clout in Mr Conte’s government.</p>
<p>In southern Calabria, the only other Italian region voting on Sunday, a centre-right candidate triumphed on a ticket that was backed by Mr Salvini’s anti-migrant League party, the far-right Brothers of Italy party and the conservatives of former premier Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party.</p>

<p>Mr Salvini sought to put a positive spin on his candidate’s defeat in Emilia-Romagna, saying he did remarkably well in a region that for decades has been a stronghold of the left.</p>
<p>Mr Salvini himself had campaigned incessantly there, practically eclipsing his candidate Lucia Borgonzoni’s visibility.</p>
