The former Labour deputy leader and minister George Vella, 76, will be Malta’s 10th President of the Republic, this newspaper has learnt.
A senior government source told MaltaToday that the decision to appoint Vella, who left office as foreign minister in 2017 after deciding not to run in the snap elections of that year, had been taken. “He is the right person for the job, and a respected figure,” the source said.
