Alliance for Italy (ApI), though officially still member of the centrist coalition New Pole for Italy, decided to take part in the contest, fielding a candidate from its own ranks.
The main candidates were Enrico Musso, an independent politician supported by the main political forces of the New Pole for Italy (UDC, ApI and FLI), and Marco Doria, who was chosen as the candidate for the center-left coalition on 13 February 2012 via the coalition's primary elections.
