Court case over Paphos gubernatorial election begins

The court case filed by Kostas Konstantinou against narrow defeat in the Paphos district gubernatorial election began at the town’s electoral court on Monday.

Konstantinou lost the election to Charalambos Pittokopitis by just 38 votes on June 9, but now believes he has evidence that the election’s result “should have been different” to what it was.

He told the court that “the prescribed procedures for a fair and impartial election process were not followed” and that he “strongly feels the injustice committed against him”.
