However, the PATT candidate Giacomo Bezzi was defeated by center-left candidate and following this defeat came the break with the center-right Alliance and the Regional Council for the coalition with the center- left coalition and the SVP. Under an arrangement with the SVP a PATT deputy was elected President of the Region for the period from 2002 to 2004 Andreotti.
