Local council elections were held for 23 localities in Malta on 11 March 2006.[1] [2] Traditionally, this round of elections has given positive results to the Nationalist Party, with the biggest villages apart from Żabbar, being the traditional villages in which the Nationalist Party (Sliema, Naxxar, Birkirkara) obtains best results. Eighty-eight percent of the voting documents were collected.
The Malta Labour Party (MLP) has won the Local Council elections with 53.8% of first count votes. The PN obtained 43% while Alternattiva Demokratika and independent candidates obtained 3.2%. While 3.2% may seem insignificant on a national level, this is not in the case of one locality, namely Marsaskala, as 0.76% of these translated in 604 votes and a seat for a new independent group, Grupp Indipendenti Marsaskala in the Marsascala Local Council, headed by ex PN MP Dr Josie Muscat.
