1955 Sicilian regional election

none September 2025 The 1955 Sicilian regional election took place on 5 June 1955. Christian Democracy was by far the largest party, largely ahead of the Italian Communist Party. After the election Giuseppe Alessi and, later, Giuseppe La Loggia governed the Region at the head of a centre-right coalition that included the Italian Liberal Party, the Italian Democratic Socialist Party and, since 1956, the Italian Social Movement. After a brief one-party government by La Loggia, Silvio Milazzo, a left-wing Christian Democrat, broke ranks, launched his own Social Christian Sicilian Union and formed a government that included the extremes: the left-wing Italian Communist Party (along with the Italian Socialist Party) on one side and the right-wing Italian Social Movement (along with the Monarchist National Party) on the other side.http://www.ars.sicilia.it/organi/governi/default.jsp?idLegislatura=3 Governi precedenti | ARS Results Electoral system: proportional representation 300px|centerParties votes (%) seats Christian Democracy897,39738.639 Italian Communist Party482,79320.820 Monarchist National Party–People's Monarchist Party295,74512.78 Italian Socialist Party225,7209.710 Italian Social Movement222,4199.68 Italian Liberal Party91,9804.03 Italian Democratic Socialist Party–Italian Republican Party72,3513.12 Others37,6271.5-Total2,326,032100.090 Sources: Istituto Cattaneo and Sicilian Regional Assembly References Category:Regional elections in Sicily Category:20th century in Sicily Category:1955 elections in Italy Category:June 1955 in Europe
