Alex Borg Favourite To Become New PN Leader

Jun 18 2025

A recent survey referenced by The Times of Malta suggests that Alex Borg, a Nationalist Party MP from Gozo, is currently the most favoured candidate among party members to take on the leadership role.

The poll places him ahead of two well-known figures: former PN leader Adrian Delia and ex-MP Franco Debono, who were ranked second and third respectively. Delia secured 19.3% of support, while Debono received 8.8%.

The survey gathered the views of 500 Nationalist Party members. Just over 25% selected Borg as their preferred choice.

However, a significant portion of those questioned either expressed uncertainty or opted not to respond.

One in three said they were unsure whom they would back, and a further 9% left the question unanswered. Combined, this indicates that around 43% of respondents withheld a clear preference.

The poll was carried out between 14 and 16 June, coinciding with the announcement by Roberta Metsola that she would not be seeking the party leadership.

Nicky Ellul Summits Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro

Jun 18 2025

Nicky Ellul, a seasoned mountaineer from Malta, has achieved another significant step in his quest to eventually summit Mount Everest.

On 12 June at 06:18 local time, the 42-year-old reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, standing at 5,895 metres. This climb formed part of his intensive preparation for his next major objective, Himlung Himal in Nepal, which rises to 7,126 metres.

Unlike many who treat Kilimanjaro as a final goal, Ellul viewed it as part of a broader journey. What made this ascent particularly notable was his decision to complete it without using altitude sickness medication, a choice that added to the physical and mental demands.

“This was never just about reaching the top,” Ellul said. “I’m using each climb to build the skills and strength I’ll need for bigger challenges. There are no shortcuts.”

Conditions were far from ideal. The early stages were marked by heavy rain, which soaked his equipment and made progress difficult. The final ascent to Uhuru Peak brought freezing temperatures and thin air.

Yet, as the sun rose over Tanzania, Ellul stood at the summit, already looking ahead.

This was not his first major climb. In 2019, he summited Mount Elbrus in Russia. With two of the Seven Summits now completed, his sights are firmly set on Nepal this October.
