Incompatibility Issue for Paphos Municipal Councillor

An incompatibility issue has arisen for a Municipal Councillor in Paphos due to simultaneously holding a position as an educator. The complaint was submitted by telephone to the Ministry of Interior, which stated that the law makes no distinction between permanent and temporary teachers. The responsibility for resolving the issue lies with the Prefect of Paphos, who will ask the Councillor to choose between the two positions. According to the Municipalities Law of 2022, holding both positions simultaneously constitutes an incompatibility. In the event of resignation from the Councillor's position, the replacement process will follow the legislative order of alternates.
