Italy's Democratic Party has conceded defeat in the country's election after an exit poll suggested far-right leader Giorgia Meloni's alliance is leading the vote.

The Democratic Party said it would be Italy's main opposition force after an exit poll indicated Ms Meloni's Brothers of Italy party would win 22-26% of the vote.

The right-wing coalition is thought to have won 41-45% of the vote, according to a Consorzio Opinio Italia poll for Rai.

The centre-left alliance of former Democratic Party Premier Enrico Letta apparently won 29.5% of the vote.

Sunday's election could see the country's politics leap sharply to the right as European nations struggle with soaring energy prices and the war in Ukraine continues.

If she becomes prime minister, Ms Meloni would be Italy's first female premier and the first far-right politician to become head of government in a major eurozone economy.

Ms Meloni's party, which has neo-fascist roots, would need to form a coalition with her main allies - anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini and conservative former premier Silvio Berlusconi in order to command a solid majority in the country's parliament.

"Centre-right clearly ahead both in the lower house and the Senate! It'll be a long night but even now I want to say thanks," Mr Salvini tweeted.

It may be some time until it is known officially who the next prime minister will be, as the process to form a coalition is expected to last until at least mid-October.

Full results are expected by early Monday.
