Kyrenia district elections ‘a symbol of struggle’

Candidacies are being submitted for local elections for the Kyrenia district on Thursday, with the elections set to take place on June 9.

The Kyrenia district’s local government system has been exempted from the reforms which have swept the rest of the country, as all of its local government institutions operate in exile.

As such, in each of the Kyrenia district’s three municipalities, Kyrenia, Lapithos and Karavas, there will be one mayor, eight municipal councillors, and seven school board members.
