Nationalist Party leader Adrian Delia has formally submitted his nomination to contest an election for the post he already occupies.
In a post on Facebook, the Opposition Leader said he had informed the PN electoral commission of his candidacy.
“I will go for this election with great determination and courage,” he wrote, adding that he has full faith in the paid-up members who will be voting.

The choice is clear, he said, repeating his slogan for the election: “New way, new people”.
