The Labour Party has approved former Project Green CEO Steve Ellul as a candidate for the European Parliament elections in June.

Ellul is a financial analyst and lecturer at the University of Malta having previously held a senior position at Bank of Valletta. 

He said on Facebook he had "wholeheartedly" accepted the approach from Labour to run as a candidate.

He has been active in the Labour Party for several years and led a group which came up with economic proposals as part of the '100 ideas' process held ahead of the general election.

Ellul became Project Green CEO in January last year and was tasked with implementing the €700 million greening project promised in the Labour manifesto.

Steve Ellul is married and has two daughters.
