Sandra Gauci, Mina Jack Tolu and Ralph Cassar will be contesting the upcoming European Parliament elections set to be held in May next year.

Party Leader Carmel Cacopardo said, “We are honoured to present three excellent candidates for next year’s European Parliament elections, each of them known for their engagement and representation of green politics on the local, national and European levels.”

According to him, “At a time when we observe centre-right parties intensifying their links with the far-right across Europe, it is important more than ever to have three strong candidates who stand for diversity, equality, and an awareness of the intricate link between humanity and the environment.”

Who are the candidates?

Sandra Gauci currently serves as the Deputy Leader of ADPD.

Although she is among the newer names of the party, she came very close to being elected to parliament. Last year, Gauci won more votes than the last candidate to be elected via the gender corrective mechanism. She is also known for being a voice of the people through her weekly videos ABS news.

This will be the first European Parliament election that the ADPD will contest as a merger party of the former Alternattiva Demokratika and Partit Demokratiku.

After the ADPD’s abysmal result in the 2022 General Elections, Sandra Gauci has been tooted to become party leader. However, this is yet to happen.
