February 5, 2026
Paphos Mayor Phaidonas Phaidonos and Lefkoniko Mayor Pieris Gypsiotis have been placed on suspension by the Interior Minister. The decision was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cyprus. The suspension is due to ongoing investigations against them for various offenses. The mayors are entitled to receive one-third of their salary during the suspension. The suspension can end if they are acquitted or if the investigation concludes without charges.
