Rosette Thake is expected to take over from Chris Said as the Nationalist Party's general secretary after she submitted the only nomination for the post until deadline today.

For the past 10 years, she has been a managing partner of a cooperative involved in early childhood education, managing various private childcare centres.
She was also part of the commission that reviewed and reported on the PN’s massive electoral defeat in 2013.
The other nominations submitted are:
Assistant secretary general – Jean Pierre Debono
