Candidacies are being submitted for local elections for the Famagusta district on Thursday, with the elections set to take place on June 9.
Mayoral candidate Andreas Vrahimis was the first to submit his candidacy, saying he was “greatly emotional” to submit his candidacy, and thanked those who supported his effort.
He called on people specifically from Varosha to go to the polls and vote on June 9, and said “I firmly believe we must bring the issue of Famagusta back to the fore.”
“Our return to Famagusta will, and I am convinced of this, be the springboard for finding a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem, and we must all come together in this difficult situation,” he said.
He is supported by Disy and Diko.
