Edwin Vassallo declares intention to contest PN deputy leadership elections

PN MP Edwin Vassallo has declared his intention to run for the post of PN Deputy Leader for Parliamentary Affairs.

In a Facebook post, he said that he feels that it is his duty to carry responsibility and help the party, which is calling on him to throw his name in the hat and work for unity, strengthening of the party, and for the party to regain the trust on the people. "I want to do this with God's help and through the trust of the PN paid members.

"This, so that together with my friends in the new administration I would be able to be of help to Adrian Delia, and to the other MPs."

He said that he took this decision following a positive meeting with PN Leader Adrian Delia. Vassallo said that he pledged his loyalty to the party, and said that he is willing to withdraw his interest in the post, if David Agius did the same, "so that Chris Said may put his name forward for the post as had happened in Mario De Marco's case."

Vassallo was the only MP to vote against marriage, which had resulted in him being in the line of fire, but also gained the respect of core Christian voters.
