The recently established commission for the selection and approval of the Nationalist Party candidates has met for the first time today at the Party’s headquarters. During his address to the press PN leader Dr Simon Busuttil stated that the Party’s MEP prospective candidates for the MEP election to be held next year will be approved by end of next month. Dr Busuttil added that although no candidates have been approved as yet he said he believed that the current PN MEP representatives namely David Casa and Roberta Metsola will run contest again on the PN ticket. The PN leader said that he has already passed on a list of ten prospective candidates for the MEP elections to the commission. He revealed that among these ten names there are some who had asked the party themselves to contest and some have been approached directly by the Party. The commission for the selection of candidates is being chaired by the ex EU Commissioner Dr Joe Borg.
