Edward Scicluna will be contesting the forthcoming general election - Bla Agenda

He made this announcement on Norman Hamilton's TV discussion programme Bla Agenda, saying he had been invited by Joseph Muscat to join the labour team for the coming elections. This, he said, was a new challenge, but Labour needed a strong economic team at a time when the life of the nation was dominated by events in the EU.
Prof Scicluna was elected to the European Parliament on his first attempt in 2009, winning 24,574 first count, the second highest among the Labour candidates

Edward Scicluna is a former head of the Department of Economics at the University of Malta.
He also served as chairman of the Malta Council of Economic and Social Development (MCESD), chairman of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), Electoral Commissioner and a director of the Central Bank.
Prof Scicluna is vice president of the European Parliament's economic and monetary committee, among other positions.
