Rome(CNN) Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte handed in his resignation on Tuesday, in a tactical political maneuver that he hopes will allow him to build a new coalition.

Italy was thrown into a fresh political crisis last week when Conte faced two confidence votes. He survived but lost his governing majority in the Senate after his predecessor, Matteo Renzi, withdrew his small Italia Viva party from the ruling coalition, citing frustrations with the government's management of the pandemic and a recession.

Conte handed his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, according to a presidential palace statement.

The President will begin consultations with the leaders of the country's main political parties on Wednesday afternoon, the statement said.

If Conte, who does not belong to a party, has enough , Mattarella could ask him to form a new coalition.

Another option to break the ime would be to call snap elections, two years early.

"The President of the Republic is reserving his decision and has asked the government to stay in office for the management of ordinary affairs," the statement said.

If Conte receives the mandate, he would likely look for a broader coalition and to add five more senators to the fold.

Without a Senate majority, Conte would struggle to effective legislation at a time of crisis for the European nation, which has suffered years of political instability in addition to new economic challenges amid the pandemic.

Italy has been through several political crises since the end of World War II and has held many snap elections before sitting governments have finished their electoral . Conte is the country's 66th leader in 75 years.

His coalition, which was formed in 2019, is led by the center-left Democratic Party (PD) and the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S). Despite vast political differences, the unusual alliance prevented snap elections which could have favored the far-right League Party.

Conte has enjoyed high approval ratings after Italy imposed Europe's first lockdown last spring, in response to spiraling number of Covid-19 cases and deaths. He remains Italy's most popular politician with an approval rating above 50%, Reuters reports.

We saw this coming due to recent happenings in Italy, especially on this Covid-19 funds.
Conte has been under pressure since his governing centre-left coalition, which he has led for 16 months, lost its majority in the Senate.

That came after the party of former PM Matteo Renzi withdrew from the alliance amid disagreements over how to spend COVID-19 recovery fund money.

President Matterella didn't have to accept Conte's resignation and could ask the prime minister to try to form a more stable coalition.

These people (whites/westerners) are quick to resign if they feel they are not getting enough, delivering enough and performing well in their position but not with a black man especially the fulani mannequin in aso rock, he'd rather prefer to see people die while him and he's fulani dynasty reign and enjoy unlimited wealth.
