Floriana First (Maltese: Floriana l-Ewwel), is a localist party located in and operating in Floriana, Malta. It is one of two localist parties in the Republic of Malta, the other being Għarb l-Ewwel.

Leadership

The party is lead by its founder, Nigel Holland, who served as Mayor of Floriana three times, between 1998–2004 as an independent, and 2007–12, 2012–15 as part of the Floriana l-Ewwel grouping.

Registration

The party registered its statutes with the Electoral Commission of Malta on 2 April 2019, just in time for the 2019 local elections, however it previously contested the March 2007 and 2013 elections in an unregistered state.

Inactivity

It is not clear if the party has gone inactive since its Facebook page, its main channel of communication since the registration of the party has gone inactive after its last post on 15 May 2019^[1], in a situation similar to Alleanza Bidla, another registered party that is de facto defunct. Nevertheless, the party remains registered with the Electoral Commission of Malta as of January 2022. It remains to be seen whether it shall contest the upcoming 2024 local elections in Malta.

Electoral History

The party has contested the March 2007 and 2013 local elections, winning 1 seat out of the 5 Floriana Local Council seats every election. Nigel Holland lost his seat, and therefore the only seat belonging to the party in the 2019 elections, where his vote share went down by 41 votes to 141 votes from 182 votes in 2012.
