Caruana is set to inherit the mantle of his predecessor at Maison Demandols, Edward Scicluna, who obtained 3,577 first count votes in 2017. This is Caruana's first general election. Zammit Lewis, who made it to parliament through a casual election last time around, is very likely to be elected on his own steam after the departure of former deputy leader Chris Cardona and notary Ian Castaldi Paris. Although 50.9% of Labour vot- ers were unsure who to vote for, it does not appear likely that the front runners could face a signif- icant challenge from other party candidates. Elected in 2017 Edward Scicluna (18th count) Chris Cardona (24th count) – Edward Zammit Lewis (casual election) BIRKIRKARA and the surname Fenech Ad- ami are inseparable and it appears that Be- ppe Fenech Adami enjoyed a head start over the rest of the PN candidates. However, he could be given a good run for his money by newcomer Justin Schembri and former lead- er Adrian Delia, who used to be president of the locality's football club. The PN elected three MPs from this district in 2017, includ- ing deputy leader David Agius. The survey numbers suggest Agius could have a lacklus- tre performance this time around, although much could depend on the size of surplus votes the front runners will have. In 2017, Fenech Adami had polled 6,484 first count votes, leading to a surplus of 2,516 votes for redistribution. This will be the first general election for Delia since he only made it to parliament through co-option. With 44.9% of Nationalist voters still undecided who to give their number 1 vote, Delia could very well have tapped into this reservoir to secure one of the PN's three seats. Therese Comod- ini Cachia was missing from the ballot sheet after calling it a day. Elected in 2017 Beppe Fenech Adami (1st count) Therese Comodini Cachia (22nd count) David Agius (22nd count) IAN Borg is on track to retain the top spot for his party in this dis- trict. In 2017, Borg got 5,566 first count votes and could very well re- peat that performance. The rest of the pack sees Julia Farrugia Portelli with what appears to be a margin- al head start over ministerial rival Aaron Farrugia. On this district, the PL elects three MPs and with 47.3% of voters unsure who to give their first preference vote, the game may still be open for the two seats after Borg. Elected in 2017 Ian Borg (1st count) Edward Scicluna (2nd count) Silvio Schembri (24th count) RABAT podiatrist Ian Mario Vassallo Hagi emerges as a surprise front runner but with 64% of Nationalists on this dis- trict claiming to be unsure who to vote for, the race is wide open. The PN elected two MPs on this district in 2017 – Beppe Fenech Adami and Jean Pierre Debono. Both did not have their names on the 7th District ballot sheet this time around, and 2017 candidates Sam Abela and An- toine Borg, who polled more than 1,000 votes each, also did not feature. Another missing candidate was former PD repre- sentative Godfrey Farrugia, who received more than 1,000 first count votes in 2017. The absence of all these candidates was probably a reason that contributed to the undecidedness. Ryan Callus, newcomer Rebekah Cilia, an engineer, and former PN leader Adrian Delia will also be in the battle for the PN's two seats.
