Muscat angry that Micallef and Pellegrini have canvassed for Joe Mifsud
PL leader Joseph Muscat has been angered at the news that former party secretary general Jason Micallef and former Lorry Sant henchman Ronnie Pellegrini have been campaigning to have Joe Mifsud re-elected as President of the Malta Football Association in today's crucial election.
MaltaToday is informed that the PL leader "blew his top" as soon as he was informed that the two party officials were making phone calls to MFA delegates encouraging them to vote for Joe Mifsud and confirm him in office.
It is understood that a 'secret agreement' was reached between Prime Minister and PN leader Lawrence Gonzi and Opposition leader Joseph Muscat that both political parties will stay away from interfering in the toughly contested election for the MFA presidency.
Tensions are high as the 109 delegates from clubs around Malta and Gozo will cast their votes later today and decide between incumbent Joe Mifsud who has been in office for 19 years and Norman Darmanin Demajo who is contesting for the post for the second time.
