Single Armenian Cypriot candidate stands for election

Only one Armenian Cypriot is standing for election to become the community’s non-voting representative in the new parliament.

Vartkes Mahdessian, 76, has been the community’s representative in the House since 2006, and looks set for a fifth term in the role.

Should no objections to his candidacy be filed by 12.30pm on Thursday, he will be duly elected for a fifth term.
