In the Regional Council of Piedmont, Christian Democracy resulted narrowly ahead of the Italian Communist Party, which had been ousted from the regional government by the Italian Socialist Party in 1983. After the election, the Socialists and Christian Democrats, along with the Italian Republican Party, the Italian Liberal Party, and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party, continued their Pentapartito alliance but this time the regional government was led by a Christian Democrat, Vittorio Beltrami.
