Eleven candidates from three parties contested the five-seat Għarb local council. Newly-formed party Għarb First, a split from the Nationalist Party, managed to win two seats out of five[5], with PL taking another two seats and diminishing PN to only one seat. This resulted in no party having overall control on the council. This happened also in Żebbuġ, also in Gozo. Media houses erroneously and consistently reported Għarb First candidates as independent candidates.[6][7] The Nationalist Party lent Għarb First confidence and supply to form a majority, with David Apap (GĦ1) as mayor and Louis Apap (PN) as vice-mayor.

Yes, being this was your first time running for local council, and being 16 years old, you won the majority of votes and should have been also elected as mayor. Yet, according to the Maltese law, one has to be 18 years old to be elected as mayor. How do you feel about this contradiction? That you can run for local council, and the majority have spoken that they believe in you, yet because of your age you cannot be mayor.
