ROME (Reuters) - Parliamentarians and regional officials will hold a first round of voting to select a new president to replace Giorgio Napolitano, who resigned earlier on Wednesday, on Jan. 29, lower-house 5-Star Movement lawmaker Alessio Villarosa said.
Villarosa, who spoke after a parliamentary meeting to fix the date, said the voting would begin at 3 p.m. (1400 GMT). Several rounds of voting may be needed and the process can take days or even weeks to complete.
