Law Commissioner and former Nationalist MP Franco Debono has hinted that he would consider contesting the next election as a Labour Party candidate. 

In a Facebook post, Dr Debono said that he appreciated the many Labourites who were urging him to contest the election on the PL ticket.

Dr Debono wrote that were he to contest, he would work alongside his "childhood friends" Joseph Muscat and Edward Zammit Lewis and the rest of the PL to "keep Malta at the forefront of Europe".

Dr Debono's comments came shortly after former Labour Party president Emanuel Cushcieri had uploaded a post saying the former PN MP was not ruling out contesting the election as a fifth district PL candidate, quoting him as saying "the Labour Party's path is a great deal similar to my beliefs".
