March 19, 2026
Bishop Christoforos of Karpassia is re-entering the race for the metropolitan throne of Paphos, following the dismissal of allegations regarding financial misconduct. He was accused of transferring over €100,000 to personal accounts. Despite earlier concerns, quick police actions restore him as a candidate without suspicions. The election will be held without citizen participation, which may strengthen his candidacy. The selection of the next metropolitan is expected to be cautious and aligned with the Archbishop's views.
