Three high-profile medical consultants will be contesting the next election on the Nationalist Party ticket.

They are Nick Refalo, an oncology consultant and son of constitutional expert Prof. Ian Refalo, Jason Zammit, an orthopaedic consultant and surgeon at Mater Dei Hospital and Kevin Cassar, a vascular consultant and surgeon originally from Cospicua.

PN sources said the three have had meetings with PN leader Simon Busuttil and they are expected to be formally approved as candidates shortly.

It is not yet known which districts they will contest.

Prospective candidates have to submit their nominations by Saturday.
