On 24 January 2022, Brothers of Italy's leader Giorgia Meloni proposed Nordio as her candidate in the 2022 Italian presidential election.[4] Nordio rejected the candidacy, citing lack of political experience.[5] However, he was confirmed as a possible candidate of the centre-right coalition on the following day.[6] On 29 January, Brothers of Italy voted him when all the other main parties proposed a re-election of incumbent president Sergio Mattarella.[7][8][9]
