VALLETTA, Malta -- Voters in Malta will elect a new Parliament in a few weeks in balloting that will also decide the island nation’s next government.
During a political event on Sunday, Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela announced that the election will be held on March 26 in the European Union nation. He said he will advise the Maltese president to dissolve Parliament to clear the way for the election.
The Labour Party has been in power since 2013, after winning back-to-back elections. The Nationalists are Malta's other main political party. The government’s five-year-term was set to end in June.
In the last election in 2017, Labour triumphed by taking 55% of the votes.
