Alex Borg has been confirmed as Leader of the Nationalist Party, with 98.2 per cent of the votes cast in the General Council backing him to stay on as leader.

In total he received 1,459 yes votes and 27 no votes.

“This is only the beginning. From this moment on, I want Malta to start winning. This is not my victory alone. This is a victory for the PN, a victory that gives hope to the Malta and Gozo of tomorrow. It is a victory that gives me the courage to work harder than ever to continue strengthening this Party,” Borg said during his speech shortly after,” he said.

The process to elect the Leader of the PN was launched during the PN General Council, which opened on 24th June, and concluded yesterday with the closing session of the same General Council, during which the result of the three-day voting process held in both Malta and Gozo was announced. Borg ran uncontested.

During his speech, Alex Borg announced that the process to revise the Party Statute will begin, with the aim of building a more efficient and open party, one that is more present in local communities and capable of attracting the best talent.

He said this would be the most extensive renewal of the Party Statute ever undertaken.
