The cabinet of ministers
has decided that the first session of Parliament following the general
elections will be held either on the 3rd of May or the following Saturday
on the 10th of May. A final decision will be taken in the near
future.
Deputy Prime Minister Tonio
Borg was quoted by portal maltarightnow.com to have said that the President of
the Republic will address the Parliament when it resumes. This speech will then
be debated in the following days.
Dr Borg also said that
draft laws that had been presented to Parliament before the elections but were
not yet ratified, will have to be presented once again for discussion.
The President’s writ for
the casual elections due to be held for the remaining seats in Parliament was
published on Friday in the Government Gazette. Six seats for each of the MLP
and PN will be elected to fill those seats vacated by deputies elected from two
districts.
The Electoral Commission is
yet to decide when the casual elections will take place.
