Elections for Administrative Committees of hamlets were held in Malta in 2010. The elections were held in eight hamlets on 27 March, with elections in a further eight on 5 June. The March elections were won by the Nationalist Party, however the June elections resulted in a victory for the Labour Party.
Elections were held in March in Bubaqra (Żurrieq), Fleur-de-Lys (Birkirkara), Kappara (San Ġwann), Madliena (Swieqi) and Paceville (St. Julian's), Marsalforn (Żebbuġ), Santa Luċija (Kerċem) and Xlendi (Munxar).[1] In Santa Luċija there was no election because only five candidates ran for election, for a third party, the Association for the Common Purpose.
A total of ten candidates ran for the Labour Party, 36 candidates for the Nationalist Party and two independents. The Nationalist Party won the March elections with 63% of first count votes. The Labour Party obtained 34% while independent candidates obtained only 3%.
