Italy election: Early exit polls point to hung parliament
4 March 2018
Italy is on course for a hung parliament after one of the most uncertain elections in recent memory, exit polls suggest.
Initial projections say ex-PM Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right coalition is set to win the most seats in the lower house of parliament.
It is expected to get between 225-265 seats, polls say - below the 316 needed for an absolute majority.
Exit polls put the anti-establishment Five Star Movement in second place.
It has made significant gains and could emerge as the largest single party, with about 30% of votes and 195-235 seats.
