Italy's primaries crowned Prodi



Italian opposition leader Romano Prodi won overwhelming support in a nationwide primary that confirmed him as the center-left candidate for Italy's general elections next year, results showed Monday. With 92.4 percent of 10,000 polling stations reporting, results early Monday showed Prodi won 74.6 percent of the vote. Prodi's widely expected victory set the stage for a clash with Premier Silvio Berlusconi, who is likely to remain at the helm of the conservatives, in the mid-2006 vote.
