Zacharias Koulias announced his candidacy for the Parliamentary Elections of May 2026 in the Famagusta Electoral District. In his announcement, he referred to his personal history as a refugee from the occupied Rizokarpaso, emphasizing that the experience of occupation and displacement is a deep personal wound and a lasting debt. He highlighted his consistency throughout his long parliamentary career since 1999, as well as his willingness to oppose choices he considered harmful, even at political cost. Mr. Koulias dismissed claims of fatigue, stating that he remains active and determined to continue his fight for the rights of citizens. He made special reference to the Cyprus issue, emphasizing that the homeland remains divided and occupied, and that silence is not an option. He called on citizens to give him their support, so that he can continue his fight for final vindication.
