Nationalist MP Ivan J. Bartolo has revealed that he will not be contesting in the next general election, which will supposedly take place in 2027.
In a statement, he explained that this decision, made with responsibility and loyalty towards the electorate, is solely driven by evolving family commitments that now require him to travel abroad more frequently to spend time with his children and grandchildren.
The Nationalist MP described his 9-year spell in politics as a period of both triumphs and challenges, one that has been a privilege, an honour, and a true opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Bartolo has not only spent his 9-years in politics as an MP but has also had roles as a Shadow Minister as well as being the first ever President of Social Dialogue of Partit Nazzjonalista, appointed by Bernard Grech.
Bartolo reaffirmed his commitment to actively contributing throughout the current parliamentary legislature.
He also pledged to support the eventual implementation of a bold and ambitious economic reform agenda aimed at driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainability, should the electorate entrust the Nationalist Party with governing the country in the next general election.
He believes that the Nationalist Party’s economic, social, and political vision will secure a better quality of life for all, restoring the country’s reputation and attracting high-quality investment.
He expressed his deep gratitude to those who have supported him throughout his political journey and looks forward to new opportunities beyond frontline politics.
