PN Leader Bernard Grech will this evening continue to meet MPs as he works on a shadow Cabinet reshuffle.
One-to-one meetings with MPs have been ongoing for the past week or so, sources said, adding that the PN leader was finding some resistance by a few MPs who do not want to see their portfolio changed.
The sources said, however, that an agreement is close, and the reshuffle could be announced in the next few days.
The changes are likely to reflect the recent Cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Robert Abela.
The current Cabinet is made up of 27 people, including the Prime Minister.
There are 28 MPs, including Bernard Grech, but the former Oppositon Leader, Adrian Delia, has told Grech that he does not wish to be given a shadow portfolio. This means that the entire PN parliamentary group, bar Delia, will likely be given a ministry to shadow.
Sources said the negotiations were at times difficult because some MPs did not want to lose their current portfolio. However, the process is expected to be concluded in the coming hours.
