What Follows After Nikola's Complaints About Candidates with a 'Past' - What is Predicted

Following Nikola Papadopoulos's complaints about candidates with a 'past', the Ministry of Interior has requested information from the President of DIKO. Mr. Papadopoulos responded with names and information he possesses. The Legal Service will decide whether to request information about candidates from other parties as well. According to the Constitution, to be eligible to run for office, one must be a Cypriot citizen, over 21 years of age, and not convicted of a dishonorable or immoral offense. The Ministry of Interior will examine the information and follow the prescribed procedure for objections after the official submission of candidacies.
