Sardinia Governor Alessandra Todde has
said she will keep doing her job and plans to appeal after the
regional election commission of the court of appeal on Friday
ruled that she should be disqualified from the Sardinia regional
assembly.
The case regards allegedly breaches of the rules on election
expenses during Todde's successful campaign to take the helm of
the region last February.
If she loses her seat in the assembly, she will also lose her
position as governor.
The regional assembly itself will have the final word.
"I will calmly continue to do my job in the interest of the
Sardinian people," said Todde, a member of the 5-Star Movement
who was elected on a ticket supported by a broad alliance of
centre-left parties.
