![Nigel Holland Becomes Floriana Mayor: James Aaron Ellul Deputy Mayor](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/florweb.jpg)
A decision has been reached on who is set to take the role of mayor in Floriana – and that is independent candidate Nigel Holland.
Meanwhile, Nationalist candidate James Aaron Ellul will be taking the role of deputy mayor after a deadlock left the locality without a mayor following the Local Councils elections.
After the most recent elections in Floriana, there was a division in the results, 43.64% of the vote went to Labour, 31.01% went to the Nationalist Party, and a significant 16.67% went to independent candidate Nigel Holland.
PL’s Sandra Sammut Hili led her party with 274 first count votes, whereas Aaron James Ellul led with 296. The PN earned 31% of the overall locality vote, with the PL obtaining 43.6% of the vote.
It is worth noting that the new vice mayor garnered 4 votes in favour and 1 vote against which means one of the Labour Councillors voted in favour of a Nationalist Party councillor. On the other hand, the vote for the Mayor got 3 votes in favour and 2 votes against.
