Francesco Pigliaru of the Democratic Party defeated incumbent Ugo Cappellacci of Forza Italia. The combined score of the highly fragmented Sardist parties was 26%.

The Five Star Movement did not take part to the election, after Beppe Grillo refused to concede the use of his party's symbol.

The notorious novelist Michela Murgia, who received more than the 10% of votes, wasn't elected because of the new high electoral threshold.
