The national directorate of the
centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) on Wednesday
approved holding primaries for a new leader on March 3.
The primaries are a consequence of caretaker leader Maurizio
Martina's recent standing down.
Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti is favourite with the
bookies followed by former interior minister Marco Minniti, and
Martina.
