The Nationalist Party has announced Party Leader Bernard Grech's first reshuffle since being elected over three months ago, after days of sometimes contentious talks. 

There have been several changes at the top with David Thake losing the environmental portfolio in favour of Robert Cutajar. 

Therese Comodini Cachia has been made responsible for human rights, good governance and rule of law, while Karol Aquilina takes over from Jason Azzopardi as spokesperson for justice. Dr Azzopardi has been given the jobs, training, competitiveness and industrial relations portfolio.

Meanwhile, Claudio Grech has been tasked with party political transformation and innovation.

However, many roles are unchanged: Beppe Fenech Adami retains responsibility for home affairs, Mario de Marco for finance, Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici for foreign affairs, Robert Arrigo for tourism, and Stephen Spiteri for health.
