5 star movement party was formed less than 10 years ago.

It was predicted to be the single largest party in Italian politics.

It is now predicted to win most seats in the senate.

Its leader is a 31 years old Luigi Di Maio.

Italy's national broadcaster showed earlier its first exit polls as:

M5S 29 per cent - 32 per cent

Forza Italia 13 to 16 per cent

Lega 13 to 16 per cent

PD 20.5 to 23.5 per cent.

Polling stations closed at 11pm on Sunday night (10pm GMT).

Approximately about 50.7 million Italian citizens were expected to vote in the elections in a country which is the third largest economy in Europe.

The vote is being held under a complex new electoral law that could mean the final result will not be clear until late on Monday.
