Local council elections were held for 23 localities in Malta on 11 March 2006. Traditionally, this round of elections has given positive results to the Nationalist Party, with the biggest villages apart from Żabbar, being the traditional villages in which the Nationalist Party (Sliema, Naxxar, Birkirkara) obtains best results. 88 per cent of the voting documents were collected.

Results

The Malta Labour Party (MLP) has won the Local Council elections with 53.8% of first count votes. The PN obtained 43% while Alternattiva Demokratika and independent candidates obtained 3.2%. 3.2% may seem insignificant on a national level but in one locality alone, namely Marsaskala, it translated in over 600 votes for the new independent group, G.I.M. headed by ex PN MP Dr Josie Muscat.
