VALLETTA, May 30 (Xinhua) — Malta held a snap parliamentary election on Saturday, with the ruling Labour Party widely expected to secure a fourth consecutive term in office.<\/p>\n

More than 340,000 registered voters are eligible to elect members of parliament for the next five years and the result is expected to become clear on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to opinion polls, the incumbent Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Robert Abela, is on track to make history by winning a fourth consecutive mandate.<\/p>\n

Abela has pledged to press ahead with reforms and continue steering the country through challenging times, citing his government’s handling of the pandemic and recent global uncertainties.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the opposition leader Alex Borg, 30, who has headed the Nationalist Party for only a few months, is campaigning on promises of renewal and a change in the country’s direction.<\/p>\n

Maltese media has reported that Abela called the snap election amid concerns over global energy and security issues, following months of speculation that an early vote would be held.<\/p>\n

Malta is divided into 13 electoral districts, each electing five or six members of parliament depending on the size of the electorate.<\/p>\n

The country’s electoral system is based on proportional representation. To form a government, a party must secure a parliamentary majority, with seats allocated according to the number of first-preference votes it receives. ■<\/span><\/p>\n
