Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party expressed its satisfaction with the result obtained in the local council elections.

Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said: “At this stage it is most probable that 2 green councillors have been elected, namely Ralph Cassar in Attard and myself in Sliema, both of us for the third respective time. AD therefore experienced an increase in seats from the previous one seat, and also experienced an increase in seats compared to the last round of local elections when no seats where won.”

“AD’s overall percentage of around 4.5% in the 10 localities in which it contested confirms that the Green vote cannot be dismissed and can actually be of crucial significance at a national level”.
