PN rebels' unity candidate proves
elusive after second day of talks
Malta Chamber sets up think tank aimed at
proposing a way forward for the economy
following the COVID-19 pandemic
KURT SANSONE & PAUL COCKS
NATIONALIST rebel MPs were unable to put
forward one candidate to run against Adrian
Delia in the leadership race after a second day
of intensive talks.
Sources close to the meetings told MaltaTo-
day that discussions to find a unity candidate
continued yesterday between prospective lead-
ership contenders, MPs and others within the
party.
"The rebel MPs want someone who can win
the race against Delia, unite the party and give
the PN a fighting chance in the next election,
which is why they are trying to rally around one
candidate," the sources said.
Delia will be contesting the leadership elec-
tion that will be decided by party members. His
detractors want to avoid a bruising multi-horse
race that will have to be whittled down to two
by the party councillors first.
