Labour was the big winner in the Local Council Association elections winning two seats that had previously been National Party strong seats.
The biggest blow was the loss of the Gozo region, which had always been held by the PN. Samuel Azzopardi ran as an independent candidate and trashed the PN’s candidate Roberto Tabone by 49 votes to 20.
Labour also won the Northern Region where Labour’s Clifford Galea Vella ousted PN incumbent Anthony Mifsud.
Labour also retained the Port, South and Western Regions with the Nationalist Party holding on to the Eastern Region.
The Regional General list saw a resounding win for Labour who took three of the four seats.
Mario Fava was re-confirmed as president of the Local Council Association after he was uncontested for the role.
