Namur agrees to step down as PLR leader

Qart Qildar, Cildania - Incumbent Prime Minister Franġisku Namur has agreed to resign as PLR leader after his fellow PLR deputies expressed their lack of confidence in his ability to continue as the party's chief. The promise came after he & his leadership team abandoned their previous support for the continuation of the current government.

The Prime Minister's dramatic u-turn on the future of the PLR-BW-GtP government coalition was understood to have led to the demands that he step down with his decision-making being viewed as erratic, especially in light of recent events in Cildania. The Prime Minister is understood to have agreed after intervention from his long-time allies Deputy Leader Danjel Gauci and former Minister Edera Galdes-Bajada.

In a letter written to the party’s General-Secretary, Għamos Terreni, Mr. Namur said that “whilst it has been an incredible honour to serve as the leader of the Radical Labour Party it is now apparent that the party requires a fresh leadership to deal with the challenges facing Cildania ahead. That is why I have decided to hand in my resignation so that a new leader can be chosen”.

Rather than having Prime Minister Namur make a public speech the PLR simply released a statement advising of the Prime Minister’s resignation & announcing that internal elections would be held in due course.

Early contenders for the party’s leadership have been reported to include Mrs. Galdes-Bajada and Mattew Levanzin, a member of the party’s democratic socialist faction.
