A total of seven nominations for PN MP Jean Pierre Debono's Parliamentary seat were received by the Electoral Commission, and a casual election will be held on 3 October.
Three nominations for the casual election were received last Wednesday, two more were received yesterday, and the final two were received today.
Nationalist Party candidates Sam Abela, Dounia Borg, David Vassallo, Peter Micallef Antoine Borg and Ian Vassallo applied to contest the election. One PD candidate, Lee Bugeja Bartolo has opted to contest. He had gotten less than 100 votes in the general election
All Nationalist candidates on the seventh district have said that, if they will be elected, they will give up the seat to new PN leader Adrian Delia. Given the odds of the PD candidate being elected, it seems that Delia will be taking up a seat in Parliament.
The deadline for nominations closed today.
