The Nationalist Party has managed to keep its majority in Gharb, by five votes over AD candidate Victor Galea (and not nine votes as previously reported).
David Apap Agius was confirmed as mayor, with the other councillors being Raymond Cassar and Carmen Vella for the PN and Lisa Marie Brooke and Emanuel Muscat for the PL.
That might well have been AD's best chance of electing anyone in this round of local council elections, with indications showing the party performed weakly in Sliema and Birkirkara.
