The 9th term of the Regional Council was chosen. Roberto Formigoni, who was the longest-serving President of Region in Italy along with Giancarlo Galan of Veneto, obtained a historic fourth consecutive term. His opponent was Filippo Penati, a Democrat, who was President of the Province of Milan from 2004 to 2009.http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2009/dicembre/15/Bersani_lancia_Penati_Rifondazione_bravi_co_7_091215009.shtml Archivio Corriere della Sera The Lombard League, that is to say the regional section of Northern League in Lombardy, backed Formigoni in return of the support granted by The People of Freedom to Northern League candidates in Veneto (Luca Zaia) and Piedmont (Roberto Cota).

A threshold of 3% had been established for the provincial lists, which, however, could still have entered the regional council if the regional list to which they were connected had scored at least 5% of valid votes. The panachage was also allowed: the voter can indicate a candidate for the presidency but prefer a provincial list connected to another candidate. Council apportionment According to the official 2001 Italian census, the 64 Council seats which must be covered by proportional representation are so distributed between Lombard provinces.  BG   BS   CO   CR   LC   LO   MN   MI   MB   PV   SO   VA  total 7 8 4 2 2 1 3 21 5 4 1 6 64 The allocation is not fixed. Remaining seats and votes after proportional distribution, are all grouped at regional level and divided by party lists. The consequent division of these seats at provincial level usually change the original apportionment. Only 43 seats were directly assigned at provincial level, and the final distribution between provinces changed in this way.  BG   BS   CO   CR   LC   LO   MN   MI   PV   SO   VA  total +2 +2 = = +1 = = +2 -1 +1 = +7 As it can be seen, the landslide victory of Formigoni's Alliance caused the distribution of seven more seats to the oppositions at provincial level. Bergamo and Brescia received two new seats, Lecco and Milan and Sondrio one each. Controversies on Formigoni's candidature Formigoni's candidature, which allowed him a 4th mandate, has been contested by academics and left-wing politicians, as in disregard of Law n. 165/2004, that put a limit of two subsequent mandates to directly-elected Region Presidents. Formigoni was indirectly elected in 1995, but then directly elected in 2000 and 2005. He defends himself stating that the law was not in action when he was first directly elected in 2000, so he should be allowed a 4th mandate. After re-election, his mandate may be overturned by judges later on.Vittorio Angiolini, professore ordinario di Diritto costituzionale dell'Università di Milano; Margherita Raveraira, Università di Perugia Il limite del doppio mandato alla immediata rielezione del Presidente della giunta regionale: una questione complessa https://web.archive.org/web/20110722033205/http://www.federalismi.it/ApplOpenFilePDF_Output.cfm?custom_header=01&dpath=document&dfile=07102009134323.pdf 2011-07-22 , Federalismi.itMichele Ainis, La terza via di Errani e Formigoni https://web.archive.org/web/20100130004422/http://www.lastampa.it/_web/cmstp/tmplRubriche/editoriali/gEditoriali.asp?ID_blog=25&ID_articolo=6899&ID_sezione=&sezione= 2010-01-30 , La Stampa, 25 gennaio 2010 Formigoni also sparked controversies when agreeing to put in his majority-premium list, granting her safe election, Nicole Minetti, former showgirl and actual dental hygienist of Silvio Berlusconi, who asked for a political seat for her.September 2020 Parties and candidates Political party or allianceConstituent listsPrevious resultCandidateVotes (%)Seats Centre-right coalition The People of Freedom 34.6 23 Roberto Formigoni Northern League 15.8 11 The Right Centre-left coalition Democratic Party 27.1 19 Filippo Penati Federation of the Greens 2.9 2 Pensioners' Party 2.6 1 Italy of Values 1.4 1 Left Ecology Freedom Italian Socialist PartyFederation of the Left (incl.

If the mechanisms of electoral law generated a Regional Council very similar to the incumbent one speaking about coalitions, the most relevant change was the five new seats conquered by the League, which obtained its best performance ever. More, the League was strangely penalized by the electoral law, having conquered fewer seats than as it would be with a proportional representation. The People of Freedom was confirmed as the largest party in the region with 32% of the vote, despite a decline of three points, while Lega Nord took the 26% and Democratic Party the 23%. + 28–29 March 2010 Lombard regional election results300px|center Candidates Votes % Seats Parties Votes % Seat Roberto Formigoni2,704,36456.118 The People of Freedom1,355,13331.7923 Northern League – Lombard League1,117,22726.2118 The Right7,0080.16–Total2,479,36858.1641 Filippo Penati1,603,66633.271 Democratic Party976,21522.9021 Italy of Values267,9546.294 Pensioners' Party69,9321.641 Left Ecology Freedom59,1121.391 Federation of the Greens35,0600.82– Italian Socialist Party13,4150.31–Total1,421,68833.3527 Savino Pezzotta225,8494.69– Union of the Centre164,078 3.853 Vito Crimi144,5853.00– Five Star Movement99,3902.33– Vittorio Agnoletto113,7542.36– Federation of the Left87,2212.05– Gianmario Invernizzi27,3580.57– New Force11,2810.26– Total candidates4,819,576100.009Total parties4,263,026100.0071 Source: Ministry of the Interior – Historical Archive of Elections Popular vote (party) #ddd 500px 350px PdL The People of Freedom 31.79 LN Lega Nord 26.21 PD Democratic Party (Italy) 22.90 IdV Italy of Values 6.29 UDC Union of the Centre (2002) 3.85 M5S Five Star Movement 2.33 FdS Communist Refoundation Party 2.05 Others Other 4.58 President #ddd 500px 350px Formigoni Centre-right coalition 56.11 Penati Centre-left coalition 33.27 Pezzotta Union of the Centre (2002) 4.69 Crimi Five Star Movement 3.00 Agnoletto Communist Refoundation Party 2.36 Invernizzi New Force (Italy) 0.57 Results by province thumb|right|350px|Election results map.
