Far-right Giorgia Meloni predicted to be voted in as Italy's first female leader

A far-right party leader looks set to be voted in as Italy 's first female prime minister, according to an exit poll on Sunday.

Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party won only 4% of the vote in the last national election in 2018, but this time around was predicted to emerge as Italy's largest group with 22% to 26% of the vote.

The overall bloc of conservative parties - including Matteo Salvini's League and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party - won between 41 and 45%, shows an exit poll for state broadcaster RAI.
