Sardinia governor vows to appeal after 'disqualification'

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 4 - Sardinia Governor Alessandra Todde has said she will keep doing her job and plans to appeal after the regional election commission of the court of appeal on Friday ruled that she should be disqualified from the Sardinia regional assembly.
    The case regards allegedly breaches of the rules on election expenses during Todde's successful campaign to take the helm of the region last February.
    If she loses her seat in the assembly, she will also lose her position as governor.
    The regional assembly itself will have the final word.
    "I will calmly continue to do my job in the interest of the Sardinian people," said Todde, a member of the 5-Star Movement who was elected on a ticket supported by a broad alliance of centre-left parties. (ANSA).
