The Labour Party this evening appointed its president Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, as interim general secretary until elections for the post are held in January.
Dr Zrinzo Azzopardi will fill in for Jason Micallef, who has left the post to become chairman of One Productions. He takes up the new post on Thursday.
The decision was taken during a meeting of the party administration.
The PL said the Office of the General Secretary would go through a transitional period until January, when the party annual general conference is held. It thanked Mr Micallef for his service in the administration of the party..
