Watch: ‘I Had No Idea, I Swear’ – Terry Ta’ Bormla Says She Will Not Contest Local Council Elections After ‘Threatening Phonecall’
Popular social media influencer and previously prominent PN supporter Terry Muscat, affectionately known as Zija TT and Terry Ta’ Bormla, has announced she will not be contesting the upcoming local council elections in June after all.
“I had no idea, I swear, this is not some excuse I’m coming up with,” Terry said in an emotional 18-minute video posted on Facebook this afternoon. “I have to be honest, this is against my will.”

“I believe the majority of Bormla residents were with me,” Muscat said in both her written statement and lengthy video.
“And they will remain with me, and I know what I’m saying,” she went on. “Because they would always say the same thing, that if I don’t run, they wouldn’t vote for anyone else.”
Terry recounted how, according to the many people who spoke to her, she’s “a person who really used to care about us and work for us.”
Muscat had announced she would be running in the upcoming June elections back in January.
“I want to be someone to lean on for all Bormla residents and I want to work hard to see Bormla being better than what it already is,” she had said on social media. “Even though Bormla is already perfect, I need to continue working, because there’s still so much that needs changing.”
In a video interview with Lovin Malta a couple of weeks later, Terry gave her views on everything from gay and trans rights in Malta to a nasty incident involving a cab driver.
