The narrow margin in Frattamaggiore's May 24-25 first-round municipal vote has kept the mayoral runoff tightly contested, with Luigi Del Prete at 43.15 percent and Pasquale Del Prete at 41.45 percent advancing to the June 7-8 ballottaggio. Both candidates draw from established local coalitions and personal networks in the Campania town, producing closely matched support that has produced even trader consensus on the outcome. The previous mayor's 2025 resignation to pursue a regional seat opened the field without creating a clear frontrunner, and the absence of a decisive polling gap or major endorsements since the first round has sustained the even split. Any late shifts in turnout among undecided voters or coalition alignments could still separate the contenders before runoff day.
