Ustel Refers to 'Local' Not 'Parliamentary' Elections

The leader of the CTP and 'Prime Minister' Unal Ustel emphasized the importance of unity ahead of the 'local elections' in 2026 during a gathering with party members. His statement is interpreted as a message to the Turkish Cypriot opposition, as the Turkish Cypriot press reports that RTK is talking about early 'parliamentary' elections. Ustel stated that his priority is the 'people' and improving their lives, highlighting the reforms implemented by his 'government', including strengthening 'local government'. The CTP aims to nominate candidates who are successful, hardworking, and people-oriented, while continuing to work to promote the party.
