The Italian Council of Ministers won a relative majority in a confidence vote held in the republic's Senate on Wednesday with 95 out of the 133 senators who participated in the vote supporting the current composition of the government.
"In light of yesterday's vote in the Senate, I ask you to postpone the meeting, because I will go to the president of Italy to announce my intentions," Draghi told lawmakers.
Last week, Draghi announced his resignation after one of the members of the ruling coalition, the Five-Star Movement (D5Z), refused to take part in the vote of confidence in the government. Mattarella rejected the resignation and invited Draghi to come to the parliament for a speech in order to give an assessment of the situation.
