In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Robert Abela has officially announced that Malta will go to the polls for a General Election on May 30.

The announcement effectively signals the start of the electoral campaign, as political parties prepare to compete for a new five-year mandate. This decision for an early election aims to establish a fresh term of governance for the legislature.

Following the public announcement, the Prime Minister is set to formally inform the President of Malta, Myriam Spiteri Debono, of the decision to dissolve Parliament and set the electoral process in motion.

As the country enters this intensive campaigning period, citizens are encouraged to stay informed on the upcoming proposals and candidates vying for leadership.
