Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party expressed its satisfaction
with the result obtained in the local council elections. AD presented
candidates in 10 localities, and their percentage of first preference
votes was as follows: Hal Qormi (0.88%), H’Attard (7.1%), Hal Balzan
(4.0%), Gzira (2.6%), Mosta (2.4%), Munxar (8.0%), St. Julian’s
(4.1%), St. Paul’s Bay (2.4%), Sliema (7.8%) and Swieqi (5%). The
overall percentage of first preference votes amounts to 4.4%.
Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said: “We have elected two green
councillors, Ralph Cassar in Attard and myself in Sliema; and 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 (2009) when we
won no seats.”
“AD’s overall percentage of 4.4% 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”.
