Fifteen candidates, including five lawyers and two women, are contesting the 11 sets in today’s poll. The winners will hold office for five years. Five members will be appointed to the Executive Council, which will become known as the Gibraltar Council, headed by a Chief Minister. Ministers will be appointed by the Governor after consultation with the Chief Minister.
