Giorgio Napolitano is re-elected in Italy.
With the support of all major parties except the Five Star Movement, Napolitano easily won the vote, which required more than 50% of the votes, in a special session of both houses of parliament.
ROME, April 20 (Reuters) - Italian President Giorgio Napolitano was re-elected for another term on Saturday, following a last-minute agreement between party leaders to resolve a deadlock after five previous votes failed to elect a winner.
With the support of all major parties except the Five Star Movement, Napolitano easily won the vote, which required more than 50 percent of the vote in a special session of both houses of parliament.
Napolitano, who at 87 is already the world's oldest head of state, may not serve his full seven-year term and could resign after a political impasse that has dragged on since an inconclusive election in February.
