Veteran politician Censu Galea has been named president of the Nationalist Party general council, the PN said in a statement.

The approval was made by the executive committee which met this morning. He will be replacing Kristy Debono who resigned last week.

The committee also unanimously agreed that between 21 February and 5 March, party councillors will be involved in discussions on a draft new statute that has been proposed by Louis Galea, who was entrusted with the party reform.

This will eventually lead to the statute being brought before the general council for approval in March, which will trigger the internal elections of PN officials.

During today’s meeting, Galea made a detailed presentation of his proposals to the committee members.
