A 33-year-old aerospace engineer is to run for MEP on the Nationalist Party ticket, the party said on Friday.

Lee Bugeja Bartolo, who ran as a Partit Demokratiku candidate in the 2017 general election, is the party’s sixth confirmed candidate for the June 8 elections.

The PN’s executive committee approved his nomination at a meeting held on Thursday night. He joins David Agius, Peter Agius, Miriana Calleja Testaferrata de Noto, Norma Camilleri and LouiseAnne Pulis on the party ballot list.

The engineer studied at the University of Malta and University of Manchester and then worked as an engineer in Malta before moving to Brisbane, Australia to work for aviation giant Boeing with a focus on military aircraft.

Correction February 17, 2024: A previous version stated that Bugeja Bartolo has not run for political office previously.
