PN receives one expression of interest for party leader

Alex Borg was the only one to express interest in leading the PN in the past few days, and the party's candidates commission will now finalise the verification process.

The PN said on Wednesday that the period during which candidates for the post could submit their declaration of interest had closed at 6pm.

As stipulated by Article 90a of the party's statute, the call for expressions of interest for this post was open for seven days.

After the PN's electoral commission received the declaration of interest form from Borg, as provided for in the party's statute, it informed the candidates' commission, which will now carry out the necessary verifications.

Once this due diligence process is concluded, the commission will submit its report to the PN administrative council and the electoral commission, together with a declaration as to whether the member who expressed interest satisfies the verification criteria.

Within three days, the electoral commission will officially open nominations for this post for a period of five days.

During this period, only the person who expressed interest and passed the due diligence process can submit their nomination.
