Candidates Exceed Pre-Election Spending Limits
March 23, 2026
According to the report by the Auditor General, candidates for mayor and deputy mayor have concealed electoral expenses through events and personal gatherings. These candidates exceeded the allowed financial limits for pre-election expenses, with some surpassing the amounts by significant percentages. Among them, Yiannis Armeftis reportedly spent over €61,000 instead of €30,000. This violation undermines the credibility of the electoral processes and raises transparency issues. The Auditor General specifically names candidates who did not adhere to the legislation.
