Edwin Vassallo and Peter Micallef took their oaths in Parliament this evening, following the announcement that they were elected after a Constitional Court ruling on Friday giving the Nationalist Party two extra seats.
The Electoral Commission had met to determine which two candidates who contested on behalf of the PN were to take a seat in the House of Representatives after the court judgment.
Mr Vassallo, who is the Mosta mayor, and Peter Micallef were the two PN candidates who obtained the highest number of votes without being elected.
Speaker of the House Anglu Farrugia welcomed the two new MPs to Parliament.
