All present members of Parliament will be contesting the general election on March 8 bar two, both from the Nationalist Party and including the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Speaker, Anton Tabone, was elected from the 13th electoral district in the last election, held in 2003. Mr Tabone had also served as Minister for Gozo.
The other MP absent from the list of candidates is Antoine Mifsud Bonnici, a former Parliamentary Secretary for the Elderly. He was elected from the first electoral district.
Both surnames will however remain, as the two veterans will be succeeded by their children: Paula Mifsud Bonnici and Robert Tabone.
While Mr Tabone is contesting the general election for the first time, Ms Mifsud Bonnici had also contested, together with her father, in 2003.
Another politician's son contesting this year's election is Beppe Fenech Adami. His father, President Eddie Fenech Adami, led the Nationalist Party between 1977 and 2004, and used to attract a huge number of votes in the eighth district.
