Six additional Nationalist Party candidates have submitted nominations to enter parliament through casual elections. 

Francine Farrugia, Anthony Mifsud, Graham Bencini, Albert Buttigieg, Emma Portelli Bonnici and Charles Selvaggi all filed paperwork ensuring they are in the running for seats. 

Farrugia is contesting on the fifth district; Mifsud has submitted nominations for both vacated seats on the seventh district; Bencini, Buttigieg, Portelli Bonnici and Selvaggi are in the running for two vacant seats on the ninth district; and Bencini, Buttigieg and Portelli Bonnici are vying for a seat on the 10th district.

The candidates are hoping to fill seats vacated by party MPs elected from two districts. Although general election candidates are allowed to contest two districts, should they be elected from both, they must drop one of them. 

The Nationalist Party requires such candidates to drop the seat in the district in which they obtained the lowest percentage of the district quota. The commission started receiving nominations on Tuesday. They will continue to be accepted until Saturday at midday.

District 3

John Baptiste Camilleri
