St Julian’s mayor Albert Buttigieg has just been elected to Parliament through a casual election.

The casual election occurred after former PN deputy leader Robert Arrigo died last week, vacating a seat in parliament.

The casual election was held on 28th October, and only Buttigieg and Emma Portelli Bonnici had announced their candidacy.

Buttigieg received the most votes out of the candidates who did not manage to secure a seat during the last general election. He was the one who received the most of Arrigo’s excess votes during the general election.

Portelli Bonnici, meanwhile, performed relatively well in her first-ever general election and had dropped out just before Buttigieg.

What do you make of this?
