Cyprus Chief Returning Officer Elikkos Elia officially declared the representatives of the Latin and Armenian religious groups elected to the House of Representatives on Thursday.
Antonella Lydia Mantovani was declared representative of the Latin religious group, while Vartkes Mahdessian was declared representative of the Armenian religious group.
Speaking during the proclamation procedure, Elia said the two candidates were automatically elected after no opposing candidacies were submitted by the deadline on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., and no objections were filed by Thursday’s deadline.
Asked about the Maronite religious group representative, Elia said two candidates are contesting the seat, namely Marios Mavridis and Petros Nakouzis.
As a result, a vote for the Maronite representative will take place during the parliamentary elections scheduled for May 24.
