A MaltaToday XFM radio exit poll indicates Simon Busuttil as the candidate with the highest number of first count votes, followed by Arnold Cassola and Joseph Muscat a close third. However, a vast majority of those answering yesterday’s exit poll refused to divulge their preferred candidate. That fact alone indicates that the scenario could very well change as the votes are counted. But the exit poll (see special feature on page 7), the first of its kind ever organised by a media group, points to a resounding electoral result for former MIC chief Simon Busuttil.
Dr Busuttil, who rose to fame with his calm disposition and ‘honest’ looks may well be elected on his first count and indications put him close to a quota and a half. He acquired 32.8 percentage points in the poll.
Dr Cassola was indicated as still way behind being elected, but at over 8 percentage points in the poll he stands a good chance of giving both political sides a good fight. Maltastar editor Joseph Muscat is in third place with 5 percentage points.
