Nationalist candidates Robert Musumeci and Peter Micallef this morning submitted their nomination to contest the casual election to fill John Dalli's old seat in parliament.
The casual election will be held on Thursday.
Speaker Louis Galea's nomination to the European Court of Auditors has left Mr Musumeci and Dr Micallef as the only ones with a chance to take the seat, from the sixth electoral division.
Mr Musumeci is the Mayor of Siggiewi while Dr Micallef is a member of Zebbug local council.
