Alessandra Todde, the new president of the Sardinia Region, will need to finalize the agreement on the future council with the centre-left Campo Largo parties that helped her win the elections on 25 February. The selection of councilors will be guided by criteria such as competence, gender equality representativeness, and territoriality, in accordance with the coalition forces’ recommendations.
The Democratic Party, which is part of the coalition government, is seeking the presidency of the Regional Council for Piero Comandini, who is currently serving as Sardinian secretary. The party has also requested the vice-presidency of Giuseppe Meloni for another department in addition to Budget and Planning, General Affairs, and Environment. The official names for these roles will be proposed to Todde by the Democratic Party in coming days.
M5S party member Desire’ Manca may be responsible for Health and Work in the new council if a technician is not chosen for this department. Outgoing regional councilor Antonio Piu could lead public works at Alleanza Verdi Sinistra while Orizzonte Comune requests Tourism, Crafts and Commerce departments under Franco Cuccureddu’s supervision. Sinistra Futura aims to head Culture and Public Education department with Andrea Dettori being mentioned as a possible candidate.
The process of forming a new regional council is ongoing with various parties and individuals suggesting different department heads based on their preferences and expertise. Ultimately, it will be up to negotiations between coalition partners and Todde to determine who will lead each department when she takes office later this year.
Todde has been praised for her experience as an experienced politician who has been able to build coalitions with parties across ideological divides. With this skill set and commitment towards building a strong alliance within her region she would be able to finalize agreements with other parties that are willing to work together towards common goals.
In conclusion, it’s clear that Todde has a lot on her plate as she prepares to take office as president of Sardinia Region. However, given her experience in politics and ability to build alliances she should be able to navigate these challenges successfully
