The top stories in Malta's newspapers on Sunday

The following are the top stories in Malta's Sunday newspapers.

The Sunday Times of Malta leads with the results of its survey showing Labour widening its lead over the PN halfway through the electoral campaign. 

The Malta Independent on Sunday takes a close look at the electoral districts and attempts to point out where the general election will be won and lost. 

MaltaToday says Labour leads by 17,500 votes, according to its survey, but 59,000 are undecided. The story also features in sister paper Illum.

It-Torċa gives prominence to the Labour election candidature of Josef Bugeja, who has left his post as GWU general secretary. It also gives prominence to remarks by former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat that under the PN, Malta would lose what it gained under Labour. 

KullĦadd focuses on the Labour electoral manifesto, saying it is a contract with the people. 

Il-Mument leads with campaigning by Alex Borg in Gozo, which, it says, also needs a fresh start.
