Marie Louise Coleiro Preca will be contesting the forthcoming Labour leadership contest, The Times has confirmed.

She announced she would be holding a press conference on Friday about the future of the Labour Party and her involvement in it but would not go further when contacted. “I will be saying what I intend doing on Friday,” she said holding back from confirming whether she would be submitting her name for the leadership or deputy leadership posts.

Delegates who support her, however, confirmed she will be gunning for the top job. She joins another three candidates who have already confirmed they will be standing: Joseph Muscat, Michael Falzon and Evarist Bartolo. Full story in The Times tomorrow.
