There are 1,496 councillors eligible to vote in Saturday’s extraordinary general council, the PN said in a statement.

The council will include a vote of confidence in party leader Adrian Delia.

In a statement, Francis Zammit Dimech, who has been entrusted to oversee the process, said 1,496 councillors are eligible to vote after the electoral commission concluded a verification exercise.

Early voting is took place at the party’s headquarters as well as in Gozo today.

The party said that 500 councillors had voted on Wednesday – 404 in Malta and 96 in Gozo. This means that a third of eligible councillors have already voted. 

Councillors are being asked whether Adrian Delia should remain as party leader until the next general election.
