Descripción

The country's going to the polls in less than 48 hours, and this latest episode of Times Talk is an essential guide for the perplexed. It breaks down the mechanics of Malta’s electoral system - one of the most democratic, yet complex, in the world. Our speakers trace where your vote will go from the moment you slide it in the ballot box on Saturday till all MPs are elected next week. But the episode also uncovers the lid on a second election at play – an often overlooked, but perhaps more heated – battle between candidates of the same parties within districts.

Times Talk - The elephants in Malta’s election room

The second week of Malta’s 2026 general election campaign sparked its first controversies. As Labour leader Robert Abela and Nationalist Party leader Alex Borg make their political pitches, mainly through cash bonanzas, are the country’s (medium-to-long term) problems being ignored? In this episode of Times Talk, Times of Malta editor-in-chief Herman Grech sits down with former Labour deputy leader and president Daniel Micallef and former PN chief of staff Ray Bezzina to dissect the campaign narratives, the long-term economic impact of today’s pledges, the racism directed at Omar Rababah, and the growing debate over overdevelopment. It was a candid discussion on the issues shaping Malta’s election, and the ones politicians may prefer to avoid.
