Bernard Grech has conceded the election result after a phone call to Prime Minister Robert Abela.

Early indications show that the Labour Party has won the election by a significant majority over the PN.

Labour Party insiders have suggested that the gap could be similar to 2017. However, an official result will be revealed later today after electronic counting.

The Nationalist Party, as per party statute, will now call a leadership election. It remains to be seen whether anyone will contest against Bernard Grech, who said he would stay on as leader regardless of the result when asked about during the campaign.

This is the Labour Party’s third consecutive general election win since 2013. However, this is Robert Abela’s first one as party leader and Prime Minister and the first following Joseph Muscat’s resignation in 2019.

Voter turnout was at 85.5%, down from 92% in 2017. It’s the lowest since 1955.

Should Bernard Grech resign?
