The Nationalist Party Electoral, Records and Data Commission said that two prospective candidates for the role of Leader of the PN submitted their declaration of interest by 2pm today – Alex Borg and Adrian Delia.

The Candidates Commission said that it now begins the due diligence process. As provided for in the PN Statute, within two days of the closing of this call, the PN Electoral Commission must forward the names of the Party members who submitted their interest to the Candidates Commission of the Nationalist Party, which will in turn begin the necessary verification procedures.

It went on to say that this due diligence process may take up to a maximum of six weeks. Once concluded, the Candidates Commission will send its report to the PN Administrative Council and the Electoral Commission, along with a declaration stating whether the individuals who expressed their interest meet the verification criteria.

Subsequently, within three days, the Electoral Commission will officially open the nominations for this position for a period of five days. During this period, only those who would have expressed their interest and successfully passed the due diligence process may submit their nomination.
