Marc Sant, touted as uncle Alfred Sant's replacement on Labour's ticket in the 8th district.
Weekly newspaper Illum reports that economic Marc Sant is being pushed to occupy the vacuum left by his uncle Alfred Sant and contest the general election in the 8th district on the Labour ticket.
The news comes in the wake of Alfred Sant's announcement earlier this week that he aims to contest the MEP elections.
Illum reports that Marc Sant is being seen as somewhat of a favourite to contest the 8th district.
Lawyer by profession, Sant is being perceived as a natural replacement for his uncle, and who already enjoys a certain good standing among the party's delegates for the district.
Illum reports that Sant is also already politically active within the PL on several levels, further cementing his viability as an electoral candidate.
Illum also reveals that several individuals close to the younger Sant confirm that he has been pressured to contest.

Haga wahda biss nghid lil dr marc sant - issa li urejt li fi hsiebek tohrog kandidat mal-partit laburista, ibda stenna tghajjir, zeblih, vendikazzjonijiet, kritika bla sens, mibgheda, velenu, ticpis, ghira .... fi ftit kliem, dak kollu li ghadda minnu zijuh .... imma jekk ikun dritt u bil-ghaqal, dan it-tghajjir ghandu jizloq minn fuqu qisu xejn u fl-ahhar hu wkoll jinduna li l-maltin ma ghadhomx boloh u injoranti kif ihobb jaghmilhom gonzipn u l-klikka tal-hazen li ghaddejjin jiffanfraw madwaru waqt li jwettqu l-ahhar orgja ta' pjaciri, favuri u promozzjonijiet qabel ma l-poplu jaghtihom it-tkaxkira li haqqhom wara tant snin ta' tqanzih ........

if mr mark sant is a valid person and from what is written here he is an economist in his own rights, then he should go for it no matter what the relation to dr sant is....i believe that he will join the legion of young economists on the labour tickets to the ire of gonzipn.

This is good news. PN are already far advanced on project 'PADAM' - which aims to breed the perfect politician. If labour start there own program, we could eventually also cross breed the two species and see what comes out.

Another young economist may join the excellent PL team of candidates. While GonziPN keeps scraping the bottom of the barrell to find any candidates.
