2008 Italian general election in Piedmont

The 2008 Italian general election took place on 13–14 April 2008. In Piedmont, in line with its regional status of being among the Italian regions closest to the national vote, the election was won by the centre-right coalition bed by Silvio Berlusconi between The People of Freedom and Lega Nord, as it happened at the national level, resulting in the election of Berlusconi and the fourth Berlusconi government. In the Chamber of Deputies, The People of Freedom was the largest party in the election with 34.3%, ahead of the Democratic Party (32.4%) and the centre-left coalition led by Walter Veltroni, and Lega Nord (12.6%).[1][2]
