Conte survived a parliamentary vote of confidence last week but failed to secure a majority in the Senate, the upper house, leaving his government severely weakened. Shortly before the resignation announcement, key figures in both M5S and the PD offered their support to a new Conte government. Conte, a once obscure law professor, has been at the helm of two governments of different political persuasions since he took office following elections in 2018.
