Roberta Metsola has been elected as President of the European Parliament for a second term.

The vote took place during the plenary session of the European Parliament that took place on Tuesday morning.

Metsola, representing the European People's Party, was challenged by Spanish MEP Irene Montero. While Metsola's bid to retain her seat has been known for weeks, Montero entered the race on Monday just before the call for nominations closed.

Metsola has occupied the post of European Parliament President since January 2022. The election that took place on Tuesday means that she will serve as President of the European Parliament for another two and a half years.
