Giorgia Meloni to be Italy's first female prime minister, will take oath today

Giorgia Meloni will be the first female Prime Minister of Italy. He was invited by President Sergio Mattarella to form the government. Meloni accepted the invitation. She will take oath as the Prime Minister on Saturday. Along with him, the ministers will also be administered the oath. Meloni's government would be the far-right government formed in Italy since World War II.

Meloni met Sergio Mattarella at his palace on Friday, handed him the list of ministers and held discussions with them. The Brothers of Italy, led by Meloni, won the Italian parliamentary election on 25 September. After being sworn in, the new government will have to get a vote of confidence in the Houses of Parliament next week. Italy's 68th government since 1946 would also face a number of challenges, including the Ukraine war with rising electricity costs. Along with this, the fear of recession is also deepening.
