Meloni’s center-right coalition, anchored by her Brothers of Italy party alongside Lega and Forza Italia, has governed continuously since October 2022 and approaches a postwar record for longevity in early September 2026. Parliamentary approval of the “Stabilicum” electoral reform in the lower house in July, which shifts toward proportional representation with a majority bonus for coalitions above 42 percent, now moves to the Senate after recess and could strengthen the government’s position ahead of the 2027 vote. Coalition frictions persist over election timing and fiscal priorities, while rising support for rival Roberto Vannacci has prompted sharper migration rhetoric. No confidence votes or major defections have materialized, and polling shows the governing bloc maintaining a lead despite economic pressures and EU-level policy debates. Scheduled Senate action and any snap-election signals remain the nearest potential catalysts.
