MILAN (Reuters) - The outcome of local elections in Sicily has further weakened the ruling party of former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and strengthened the populist 5-Star Movement's lead, a poll conducted after the regional vote showed.

Based on the IPSOS poll published in Saturday's Corriere della Sera, a centre-right coalition would win next year's general election with 253 seats while the 5-Star would have 173 and Renzi's Democratic Party 164 together with a smaller ally, leading to a hung parliament.
