Falzon due to announce leadership candidacy tomorrow

Labour deputy leader Michael Falzon is expected to tomorrow announce his candidature for the election to succeed Alfred Sant as Labour leader.

MEP Joseph Muscat and former deputy leader George Abela have already declared their intention to run, while MPs Evarist Bartolo, Anglu Farrugia and Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca have shown an interest.

Dr Farrugia had unsuccessfully challenged Dr Sant after the 2003 elections.

In the election which saw Dr Sant appointed to the helm of the MLP, 16 years ago, there were three candidates - Lino Spiteri, Joe Brincat and Dr Sant.

Michael's performance in the elections was impressive and the way he handled the situation at he counting hall was indeed something which he should be proud of. He was a shining example to all around him
