The race of the vacated parliamentary seat of David Stellini is on with the PN’s Executive Committee due to select his potential replacement tomorrow (Saturday).

Stellini, who was elected in a casual election in Gozo, officially resigned from the House of Parliament over the partisanship he believed was plaguing the Maltese political system.

In what has become a running theme for the embattled party, its internal factions are all competing to ensure that the member of their circle gets the post.

With Delia facing even more pressure following the poor showing in both the MEP and local council elections, his inner circle are rumoured to pushing for Jean Pierre Debono, who gave his seat up so that Adrian Delia could enter parliament

Debono, a Delia-loyalist, has already put his name in contention.

However, a number of PN figures associated with the old guard and Simon Busuttil have suggested that Gozitan candidate Kevin Cutajar should take Stellini’s spot.

In the hotly-contested district of Gozo, sources have also said that losing an MP could be a massive detriment come the next general election.
