history

After the resignation of long-time Prime Minister Dom Mintoff on December 22, 1984, his designated successor Carmelo "Karmenu" Mifsud Bonniċi took over the role of Chairman of the PL and Prime Minister and then formed the Mifsud Bonniċi cabinet. After Dom Mintoff's resignation on December 21, 1984, political relations with Western Europe improved again and in 1987 the Republic of Malta incorporated neutrality and non-alignment into the constitution.

In the elections to the House of Representatives on May 9, 1987, the PL suffered a narrow defeat against the previously opposition Partit Nazzjonalista (PN) under its chairman Eddie Fenech Adami . The PN achieved 119,721 votes (50.9 percent) and was able to improve by four mandates, so that it now had 35 seats in the House of Representatives. Mifsud Bonniċi's PL got 114,936 votes (48.9 percent) and retained its 34 seats as the number of seats in the House of Representatives was increased from 65 to 69. Fenech Adami then replaced Mifsud Bonniċi as prime minister on May 12, 1987, and then formed his first cabinet . This was the Partit Nazzjonalista's first government in almost 16 years. One of the reasons for the PN's election victory was that it had stood up for an end to the dispute with the Roman Catholic Church , all of whose church property on the islands had been expropriated on June 29, 1983 by the then fourth Mintoff cabinet .
