Just hours ago, this site warned of the political catastrophe that would unfold if the Nationalist Party forced a leadership change on the eve of a general election. That warning has now become prophecy.

Moments ago, Dr Bernard Grech officially announced his resignation as Leader of the Nationalist Party.
The timing could not be worse.
With a general election looming, this decision throws the PN into disarray. What remains of its already fragile internal cohesion is now shattered. Far from rallying the party around a unified electoral strategy, this resignation is set to ignite a full-blown internal war- a leadership contest marked not by vision, but by vendettas.
The result? Chaos. Paralysis. And ultimately, electoral annihilation.

Bernard Grech’s departure may satisfy certain internal factions, but it will leave the party structure gutted and directionless at the very moment it should be presenting a united front. Instead of finalising candidate lists, organising campaign events, and articulating a policy vision, the PN will now be consumed by infighting, factionalism, and a scramble for power.

This is not just a setback—it is a self-inflicted implosion.
While Labour surges ahead with strategy, unity, and a clear mandate from the people, as confirmed by the latest MaltaToday survey, the Nationalist Party has chosen civil war over survival.
It is not just another leadership crisis. It is the final unraveling of a party that no longer seems capable of learning from its past, let alone leading Malta into the future.
Another massive electoral defeat is no longer a possibility. It is now the most likely outcome. And it may very well be the worst yet.
