Meloni wins by-election test against new far-right challenger
Original: Italy's Meloni passes by-election test against new far-right rival
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition has come through a by-election that was widely viewed as a test against a newly formed far-right rival. The result suggests Meloni retains the support of right-wing voters despite competition emerging on her political flank. Commentators are watching whether the challenge could weaken her position ahead of future national votes.
Why now: The vote was seen as a first electoral test of Meloni's grip on the Italian right against a new competitor.
