Maltese MEP Roberta Metsola has won a second consecutive term as European Parliament President with a record breaking absolute majority over her Leftist opponent Spanish MEP Irene Montero.
Metsola received a staggering 562 votes to her opponents total of 61. This means that out of a total of 623 casted votes, the Nationalist MEP received 90.2% of the total casted votes available.
This is yet another record breaking result for Metsola as this result is the highest percentage of a vote for a President of the European Parliament in history.
There were 76 votes which were blank and void such as the vote of Labour MEP Alex Agius Saliba who decided to abstain from voting.
