The headlines on the first morning of the campaign were dominated by the news that Clyde Puli, Kristy Debono and Mario Galea had all made the eleventh-hour decision not to contest the election. Claudio Grech, who oversaw the PN’s manifesto, also announced during a campaign event that same evening that he too would not be throwing his hat in the ring. Putting a positive spin on things, PN leader Bernard Grech said all four former candidates made way as they understood his desire to regenerate the party and create space for new faces. Galea, who would go on to address a Labour event, had a less positive take on things. “It was my decision to resign…they made my life hell,” Galea said, claiming he had faced bullying within the party due to his mental health issues.
