Italian President Sergio Mattarella was reelected in the eighth round of voting on Saturday. He received 759 out of 1,009 votes and could be sworn in on February 3.
The 80-year-old politician did not intend to run, but after seven inconclusive ballots, he was requested to stay in the post by the leaders of major Italian parties. “I had other plans but I am respectful of Parliament,” he said after the vote.
