Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said yesterday he was considering a political comeback for elections expected in March, but that the decision depended on who his centre-left adversaries selected as their main candidate.
A centre-left primary contest on Sunday left Democratic Party (PD) leader Pier Luigi Bersani, 61, ahead of his younger rival Matteo Renzi before a final runoff on Dec. 2, thanks mainly to his strong support among traditional PD voters.
