Media mogul leads in Italian Election

Media baron Silvio Berlusconi today held a narrow lead in both chambers of parliament in his bid to win back Italy’s premiership with a coalition of right-wing allies - but it was unclear if he had captured the majority needed to govern.

Between Italy’s complex electoral system, uncounted votes from yesterday’s election and several parties refusing to declare their allegiance, it was not immediately clear whether the 64-year-old billionaire businessman had the numbers in parliament.
