Malta's governing Labour Party has won the EU country's general election, paving the way for a second term for Prime Minister Robert Abela.
Official results show the MLP garnered 51.8 per cent of the vote, defeating the conservative Nationalist Party (PN) which took 44.7 per cent.
"We have made history by winning for the fourth time in a row," Abela said in a television interview on Sunday after initial results showed his party in the lead.
