Norman Lowell Lost 1,569 Votes Since Last European Parliament Election
Imperium Europa leader Norman Lowell lost 1,569 first-count votes this election when compared to the number of votes he received in 2019.
Lowell received 6,669 first-count votes, with inherited votes boosting the figure to 8,577 by the time he was eliminated from the contest.
This represents a significant decline from the 2019 European Parliament election, when he received 8,238 first-count votes and 9,693 total votes.
Lowell has contested every single MEP election since Malta joined the EU, but this is the first time his vote numbers have dropped.
He received 1,603 votes in 2004, rising to 3,559 in 2009, 6,205 in 2014, 8,238 in 2019, but then dropping to 6,669 in 2024.
A firebrand candidate who has spoken fondly about the Nazi party, Lowell didn’t take part in a single election debate this campaign. Instead, Imperium Europa was often represented on debate panels by Terrence Portelli.
Portelli performed dismally last weekend, only obtaining 147 first-count votes. In contrast, Nazareno Bonnici ‘Tal-Ajkla’ received 206.
