Abela campaigned on economic stability and resilience amid global turmoil, especially the Middle East crisis, which threatens Malta’s import-dependent economy and tourism. Holding elections a year early, he argued it was vital to shield the island from external shocks like soaring fuel prices and inflation. Supporters erupted in celebration, echoing deep loyalty, while opposition leader Alex Borg conceded gracefully. Despite lingering concerns over corruption and environmental strain from rapid population growth, voters prioritized economic strength—thanks to low unemployment and booming sectors like tourism, gaming, and finance. Energy subsidies remained a key promise, resonating with voters in a country highly vulnerable to global energy swings. Climate change, though urgent, took a backseat in the campaign.
