First (interim) arrangement

Although the landslide victory of Finocchiaro's Country Liberal Party was beyond doubt, counting in several seats was still underway. For this reason, Finocchiaro had herself and CLP deputy leader Gerard Maley sworn in as an interim two-person government on 28 August 2024 until the full ministry could be named.[1]
