Is the Nationalist Party dead or did it just get one step closer to choosing its most electable leadership hopeful? Former Birkirkara FC president Adrian Delia won 46% of the vote in the PN’s first round despite having been told to consider withdrawing the race a few days earlier after blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia exposed a series of controversial past business dealings. This is how Malta reacted.
Following a cutthroat race, some PN supporters were upset by the news
So upset they’ve given up completely
But it’s not all doom and gloom as voters still believe there’s hope for the PN’s future
Delia’s fans were understandably thrilled at the outcome
Despite it being a Nationalist race, the PL was actively involved in its coverage, and people were upset at the ‘hypocritical’ nature of PL supporters
While a few took a stab at NET’s lack of coverage of the whole contest
The opportunity to see a new party rise to power was not missed
