In comments made to journalists, Prime Minister Robert Abela has confirmed that the next general election will take place next year, 2022. Abela revealed the news at the end of a news conference as he announced a massive €8 million investment set to create around 100 new jobs. He also said that the Opposition created a massive amount of uncertainty for businesses as it spread rumors of an upcoming November election.
The 27th of November was the main date circulating as the fated general election day, but it seems as though the rumors were just that – rumors. Previously, the Prime Minister had refused to answer any questions about the general election directly, saying instead that he wishes to focus on the implementation of the Budget. The date for the the 2022 election has still yet to be unveiled, so there’s more waiting to be had. But it does seem as though the winter holidays can progress as usual.
