His comment immediately attracted congratulatory comments and messages of support.

Congrats for your decision Manuel! You are a valuable asset to the PL. For sure we will be missing you as a presenter on both One TV and One Radio but on the other hand we welcome your decision to contest the general election with the Partit Laburista. Wishing you all the very best for your future. Good Luck!!

Most welcome news. Another strong contender on behalf of the PL. The PL is certainly presenting a very strong list this election. They will need all the talent they can deploy to clean up the mess GonziPN is leaving behind.......

Manuel Micallef is honest enough to tell us where his heart beats; should not Bondi and Peppi do the same and contest the next election on a GonziPN ticket: that would be , at least, an honest bit of politicing by the supposedly 'neutral' referees!

A very valid candidate. Keep it Manuel!
