Voting also took place at the party's sub- headquarters in Sannat until 8pm. The voting in Malta closed at 9pm. Under the new rules, the two most vot- ed candidates will pass on to the second round of voting in two weeks' time, unless the total number of votes obtained by the two least-voted candidates is more than those obtained by the candidate in second place. In that case, the fourth-placed candidate alone would be eliminated and a supple- mentary round of voting is held on Sunday for the top three candidates. That supple- mentary election would follow the same pattern as yesterday's election. 128 councillors voted in the early PN election, which came about after current leader Simon Busuttil resigned following this year's general election. Earlier yesterday, Busuttil took to social media to urge councillors to vote. "I am sure they will vote with the party's interest firmly in mind," he said. Frank Portelli voted early morning at around 10:15 am. "Today you can vote for more of the same, or for values," Portelli said on social media earlier this morning. He continued to urge councillors to vote, writing: "The clique has support...all those who are not part of the clique, go vote please." Chris Said took to social media this morning, saying "the moment of choosing has finally arrived… This is the first step in our party – a party that keeps on keeping on despite troubles that face us." When he emerged from the party's HQ after casting his vote, Said insisted that his election would mean a fight against "the only establishment – that of Joseph Muscat, Chris Cardona, Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri in Castille". "We can't lose our credibility," Said warned. "If we lose our credibility, we end up with Labour Mark II." The PN's General Council is composed of members of the PN's executive committee, serving MPs, serving local councilors and local administrative committees, members of the PN's sectional committees, mem- bers of the Gozo Regional Committee, the PN's youth organ MZPN committee, the women's MNPN committee, the Solidar- jeta' Haddiema committee, the pension- sers' association committee, the Small and Medium Business Forum, Equal Opportu- nities Forum, Professionals Forum, candi- dates approved by the party for the general election and European elections, former MPs and MEPs, and former party officials.
