Former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has not completely excluded the possibility of contesting the general election in five years’ time, and if he does, it will be under the Labour ticket.
This was revealed during Muscat’s recent interview on Lovin Malta, where he said that he will not be part of the 2022 election but plans to leave the door open for a foray into politics if the opportunity arises. “We don’t even know when this election is taking place, let alone when the next one is taking place. It’s very far away”, he said.
Muscat also confirmed that he plans to return to his roots and contest with the Labour Party. He does not plan to set up any third parties, highlighting that not even Dom Mintoff managed to do it, “let alone Joseph Muscat.” The former Prime Minister went on to say that he could not destroy something he helped build and committed half of his life to.
With regards to the upcoming election, Muscat expects a PL majority similar to that of 2017, but outlined that the PL should not take another big victory for granted.
