Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni won a confidence vote in the upper house Senate on Wednesday Dec 14,2016 allowing his coalition government to take office
Gentiloni re-appointed virtually all of Renzi’s old ministers and easily won an initial confidence vote in the lower house of parliament on Tuesday. His administration might only last a few months, with many party leaders pushing for elections in the first half of 2017, a year ahead of schedule.
Gentiloni won 169 votes in the 320-seat Senate, with 99 voting against. Many opposition senators did not take part in the confidence ballot.
