Meloni was Minister of Youth from 2008 to 2011.[2] Member of the Chamber of Deputies since 2006. In 2019 she became a singer, her first single is “Io sono Giorgia (Genitore 1, Genitore 2)”.
In a record-low voter turnout election, exit polls projected that the centre-right coalition would win a majority of seats in the 2022 Italian general election. Meloni was crowned the winner of the election with her party, FdI, receiving a plurality of seats, and per agreement with the centre-right coalition, the largest party in the coalition would nominate the next prime minister which made her the frontrunner.
On 21 October 2022, President Sergio Mattarella designated her as the next Prime Minister of Italy, making her the first woman to hold this office.[3]
