Prime Minister Robert Abela addressed supporters on May 12, 2026, asserting that his government can deliver on all its electoral promises. Speaking at a campaign rally in Malta, Abela highlighted the country's economic performance and social advancements as evidence of progress.
Abela stated, 'We know we can deliver on all our promises,' referencing the Labour Party's track record since taking office. He emphasized job creation, infrastructure projects, and improvements in healthcare as key achievements.
The speech comes ahead of the upcoming general election, with Abela seeking a new mandate. The Labour Party has focused its campaign on stability and continued growth, while opposition parties have criticized the government's handling of cost-of-living issues.
Malta's economy has grown steadily under Abela's leadership, with GDP increasing by 4.2% in 2025, according to official data. However, inflation remains a concern for many voters.
