Gonzi leadership: who nominated the PN leader?
PN’s administration and executive leadership second Prime Minister’s leadership ‘bid’
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi's nomination for the PN leadership was signed by the minimum amount of nominees this time around, the party's information director Frank Psaila told MaltaToday.
Gonzi chose expedience over sensation this time around, when in 2004's leadership election he submitted his nomination with the signatures of 275 PN members of which 20 were MPs and five were ministers.
Gonzi's nomination today was backed by the PN's administrative and executive leadership.
With no rivals for the one-horse race that Gonzi launched on 28 January as a response to Nationalist MP Franco Debono's calls on him to resign, Gonzi's nomination was signed by the following party officials: deputy leader Tonio Borg, secretary-general Paul Borg Olivier, general council and executive committee presidents Paula Mifsud Bonnici and Marthese Portelli, international secretary John Bonello, assistant secretary-general Jean-Pierre Debono, party whip David Agius, and administrative council president Karol Aquilina.
