Nationalist councillor Matthew Paris has nominated independent councillor Nigel Holland to serve another term as Mayor of Floriana.

The nomination was made in an attempt to break the deadlock in the election of the Mayor. The council has two members each from the PL and the PN, along with Mr Holland.

However the deadlock persisted today since the Labour councillors voted against and a PN councillor was indisposed.

In the March 10 election the PL candidates won 654 first count votes to the PN's 486. Mr Holland won 185 votes.
