CNBC reports that Mario Draghi has gathered enough support from Italian lawmakers and is now highly likely to lead that country’s next government.
Members of the leftist Five-Star Movement opted to back Draghi, prime minister-designate, in an online poll conducted Thursday, with 59.3% supporting the former chief of the European Central Bank. Draghi looks to have a solid majority in Rome and no single party would be able to derail his administration.
He will now face confidence votes in Parliament next week and will present his Cabinet to the president on Friday.
