89-Year-Old Musician Runs for Parliament
May 6, 2026
Christakis Rotsidis, an independent candidate for parliament at the age of 89, expressed his desire to get elected solely on his own merit. He filed his candidacy as a musician and paid the required fee of 500 euros. He emphasizes that the Cypriot issue is one of invasion and occupation. When asked about his age, he humorously responded that he has been the same since the day he was born. His candidacy reflects the possibility of citizen involvement regardless of age.
