Matteo Salvini has been reconfirmed as federal secretary of the Lega, and the party in Benevento is now preparing for a provincial congress and a reorganization of its local structure.
The announcement for Benevento came from Parisi, who linked the national result to the next steps for the party in the Sannio: a provincial congress to be held in Benevento, preceded by the appointment of a provisional secretariat to guide the local organization toward that vote.
Confirmation at the federal congress
According to ANSA, Salvini was confirmed for a fourth term with 465 votes, against 146 votes for challenger Massimo Garavaglia. A total of 706 delegates were entitled to vote.
The new mandate is expected to last four years, through 2030.
Parisi said Salvini's reconfirmation was supported by Claudio Durigon and by regional secretary Gianpiero Zinzi.
Benevento: congress and provisional organization ahead
For readers in Benevento and the Sannio, the practical next steps are local.
Parisi announced that a provincial congress will soon be held in Benevento. Before that congress, a provisional secretariat is expected to lead the Benevento provincial organization through the preparatory phase.
No date for the provincial congress has been reported, and the members of the planned provisional secretariat have not been identified in the available sources.
Attention to the South and inland areas
Parisi also said a motion concerning southern Italy and inland areas was discussed and approved during the congress.
He framed the planned Benevento reorganization around strengthening the party's presence in the Sannio, with attention to southern Italy and inland communities.
The full text of that motion and the details of its approval have not been independently verified in the sources available.
What to watch next in Benevento
Two developments will matter most for local readers:
- The appointment of the provisional secretariat. That body is expected to manage the Benevento organization in the run-up to the congress.
- The date and procedures for the provincial congress. Those details will determine how local members participate and how the next provincial leadership is chosen.
Until those details are announced, the scope of the reorganization — including any effect on local leadership or electoral strategy — remains unclear.
