Alessandra Zedda announced her step back by deciding to support Paolo Truzzu's race.
The eurosceptics of La Forza del Popolo had as their candidate Maria Rosaria Randaccio, leader of the Sardinia Zona Franca movement who, however, was excluded due to flaws in the collection of signatures, with the secretary of the Rossomori party Lucia Chessa also in the field.
