The Nationalist Party today approved another six candidates for the 2018 general election, bringing the total number to 85.

These are businessman and CEO of IT company 6PM Ivan Bartolo, lawyer Errol Cutajar, entrepreneur Chris Sansone, teacher and Attard local councillor Connie Scerri, lawyer Mary Grace Vella and human resources manager Jason Zammit.

In a meeting of the party's executive committee, opposition leader Simon Busuttil said voters have had enough of government's “corruption and deceit”.

“The approved candidates, are not afraid of government and are giving the people a voice,” Busuttil said.
