Italy’s PM Conte resigns, seeks to form new coalition government

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has resigned from his post. He is now seeking a chance to club a new coalition to form government. He had been facing flak for his handling of the Covid-19 crisis, in which more than 85,000 Italians have died. Conte lost his Senate majority when the Matteo Renzi-led Italia Viva party withdrew support over Conte’s ’failure’ to tackle the pandemic.
