Prodi set to win Italian election: exit polls

Quote:
ROME (Reuters) - Center-left leader Romano Prodi looks set to beat Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Italy's general election, winning a majority in both houses of parliament, exit polls showed on Monday.

A poll by the Nexus research institute predicted that Prodi's alliance would win between 50 and 54 percent of the vote in both the lower and upper houses of parliament.

Berlusconi's center-right bloc was shown winning 45 to 49 percent of the vote in both houses according to the poll, broadcast by state television RAI as soon as voting ended in the two-day election.

"It is clear that Italians have decided to turn the page ... and close another very ugly chapter in Italian history," said Renzo Lusetti, a top politician in the center-left Daisy party.

A separate poll by Piepoli, shown on Sky Italia television, showed Prodi winning 52 percent of the vote in the lower house.

Under the terms of Italy's electoral system, the coalition which emerges ahead in the 630-seat lower chamber is automatically assigned 340 seats.

Official results are due by the end of Monday.
