PM selects new Cabinet

Newly elected Prime Minister Robert Abela has been calling MP’s to Castille as he forms his new Cabinet.

Although no official announcement has been made, it is reported that Ian Borg will take over as Foreign Minister, giving up his all-powerful Transport ministery. That will now go to Aaron Farrugia.

Clyde Caruana retains the Finance Ministry while Chris Fearne stays as Health Minister. Chris Fearne, however, will give up his seat in fourth district as he was also elected in the third district.

Clifton Grima is Education Minister, with Sport now likely to be allocated to a new ministry.

Clint Camilleri and Anton Refalo retain their Gozo ministries.

Other appointments are expected later today.
