The centre-right coalition led by Mauro Pili won the election but was short of a clear majority; Pili, who was appointed President of the Region, could not form a majority and was soon replaced by the defeated candidate, Gian Mario Selis, who likewise lost a confidence vote of the Regional Council. The former President Mario Floris was asked to form a government avoiding a new regional election.
