The PN Executive has approved six more candidates for the general elections, raising its group so far to 55.
The candidates, who never previously contested a general election, are Karol Aquilina (Mayor of Siggiewi), Alex Perici Calascione (PN treasurer), Sam Abela, Ivan Bartolo, Thomas Bugeja, and Anne Marie Muscat Fenech Adami (Naxxar deputy mayor and niece of former leader Eddie Fenech Adami).
PN leader Simon Busuttil said this was another step of renewal for the PN.
