President of Italy Sergio Mattarella has accepted resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
According to the presidential office, Draghi submitted "his resignation and that of the government he heads" and the president "took note of this". The statement added that the government has remained in place to "conduct current business".
Earlier on Thursday, the Italian Chamber of Deputies was scheduled to hold a vote of confidence in Draghi's government, similar to the one held in the Senate on Wednesday. However, Draghi arrived at the Chamber just to ask the lawmakers to postpone the meeting because he was going to the president to repeatedly submit his resignation.
Last week, Draghi announced his resignation after one of the members of his national unity coalition, the Five-Star Movement (D5Z), refused to take part in the vote of confidence in the government. Forza Italia led by Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini's League also refused to take part in the vote, saying that it was impossible to recover the trust already lost.
