The 2024 Limassol Municipal election was a municipal election that took place in Limassol on June 9, 2024, alongside the 2024 European elections and other local elections.[1][2] These elections had been postponed from December 2021 pending local government reform.[3] Independent candidate Yiannis Armeftis ultimately won the mayorship with 48.5% of the votes.[4]
Three independent candidates contested the 2024 Limassol municipal election: Yiannis Armeftis, Nicos Nicolaides and Christos Michaelides.[5] Nicolaides, who had served as mayor of Limassol since 2016, ran for re-election but was ultimately defeated by Armeftis.[6]
Architect Yiannis Armeftis was backed by AKEL, DIKO, EDEK, and Volt Cyprus.[7] Incumbent Nicos Nicolaides received support from DISY and DIPA,[8][9] while Christos Michaelides was supported by KOSP.[10]
