Karl Gouder to return to Parliament

San Giljan mayor Karl Gouder will be co-opted to Parliament to fill in the seat vacated by Albert Fenech, who resigned last week.

Since Fenech was elected through a casual election in 2013 the Nationalist Party’s executive picked Gouder, who lost his seat in the last election, to replace the veteran cardiac surgeon.

Gouder was the last candidate to be eliminated in the casual election which returned Fenech to Parliament.
