Malta may very well be on the cusp of welcoming a new president as Parliament gears up for a crucial vote today on Myriam Spiteri Debono’s nomination to succeed the current President, George Vella.
This political moment sees the Labour and Nationalist Party (PN) parliamentary groups holding separate meetings this afternoon in hopes of reaching a consensus. According to the Times of Malta, sources close to both political factions have indicated that no surprises are anticipated in the upcoming vote.
Tomorrow, an official vote will be held in parliament and the general public will be made aware of the decision in due course.
For those unfamiliar, Myriam Spiteri Debono has a background within the Labour Party, having previously led the party’s women’s section. She also served as Speaker of the House from 1996 to 1998. Her political journey is marked by a commitment to public service and advocacy.
Notably, Spiteri Debono paid homage to Daphne Caruana during a Victory Day speech, reflecting her engagement with significant national conversations.
