Tourism minister Edward Zammit Lewis has not ruled out running for the post of deputy leader for party affairs, in the wake of the resignation of energy minister Konrad Mizzi.

Zammit Lewis, who is considered to be close to the Labour leadership, said he will make his decision in the coming days.

“It is still too early to speculate. I am currently focussed on the recent deal for Air Malta. The process to elect a deputy leader has not yet begun and I will make the decision in the coming days.”
