Nicosia, Cyprus. A by-election will be called for the position of deputy mayor of the Nicosia suburb of Aglandjia after the previous holder was elected as a member of parliament on Sunday.
Election timetable

Constantinou’s roles
Constantinou served as Aglandjia mayor from 2020 to 2024 before becoming deputy mayor when the municipality was incorporated into the Nicosia municipality as part of the 2024 local government reforms.
Election result
On Sunday, he was Disy’s fourth most popular candidate in the Nicosia district. With the party winning five seats in the capital, he was elected to parliament.
