Pro­jec­tion sug­gests Gior­gia Mel­oni’s far-right Broth­ers of Italy par­ty has won most seats in coun­try’s elec­tion.

Mil­lions cast bal­lots in an elec­tion that could see the far-right coali­tion of Gior­gia Mel­oni win pow­er.

Ital­ians will vote on Sun­day to elect a new par­lia­ment with a right-wing coali­tion tipped to form a sol­id ma­jor­i­ty.

The prospect of a harsh win­ter is dom­i­nat­ing the Ital­ian vote, with many vot­ers wor­ried about sky-high gas bills.

Italy is set to vote in an elec­tion that will like­ly see its most far-right gov­ern­ment in pow­er since World War II.

Af­ter her par­ty’s me­te­oric rise, Mel­oni could be­come the first far-right leader to guide the coun­try since World War II.
