(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 27 - Centre-right candidate Poalo Truzzu on Tuesday conceded defeat in the Sardinia governor's race to centre-left candidate Alessandra Todde who appears to have an unassailable lead with just a handful of polling stations still to report in.
    "This morning I called Alessandra Todde and congratulated her," said Cagliari mayor Truzzu who is 0. 3% behind at 45% to 45.3% with 22 of 1844 stations still to be counted.
    "I told her I would see her again in the regional council.
    "We really lost by a hair, about two thousand votes out of 750 thousand Sardinians who went to vote.
    "The responsibility for the defeat is mine alone".
    "In Cagliari, there was more of a vote against me than for Todde," added the defeated mayor and centre-right candidate.
