Discussion on the Reduction of Deputy Mayors
August 5, 2026
Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou plans to explore the reduction of the number of deputy mayors this autumn. The maintenance of 93 deputy mayors has been found to create problems and conflicts in some municipalities. The ideal situation would be to have one deputy mayor per municipality, though this is currently considered unfeasible. An interim solution suggests keeping 35-45 deputy mayors to prevent confrontations. Additionally, the relationship between the number of deputy mayors and the population of each municipality is being considered.
