Far-Right Leader Giorgia Meloni on Course to Win the Italian Election

Italy is on course to elect the country's first female prime minister with Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) party set to gain 26.4% of the vote.
Meloni's right-wing coalition, including Matteo Salvini's Lega, former PM Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia and Noi Moderati, is set to win 44.43% of the vote.

On Monday morning, Italy's main center-left party conceded defeat, according to Reuters.
The Brothers of Italy party was founded in 2012, has roots in the neo-fascist movement that emerged after the death of fascist leader Benito Mussolini in 1945.
