Malta's ruling Labour Party has won the country's parliamentary elections for the fourth consecutive time.

According to Reuters, journalists monitoring the vote count reported that the Labour Party secured a comfortable parliamentary majority.

However, the party's latest victory was smaller than the 55% of the vote it achieved four years ago.

The parliamentary elections were held on Saturday, with voter turnout reaching 87.4%, slightly higher than in the 2022 general election.

Malta's Prime Minister, Robert Abela, said on Sunday that his Labour Party had achieved a record fourth consecutive victory in a general election.
