Marios Mavrides has announced his decision to run for the position of Maronite Representative in the House of Representatives in the May 2026 elections. In his social media post, he emphasizes that his primary goal is the survival of the Maronite community and the preservation of its identity. He commits to working to strengthen Maronite consciousness and cultivate Maronite culture. Mavrides states that his decision comes after three terms as a Member of Parliament for Kyrenia, as he is no longer eligible to run as a candidate with DISY, according to the party's statutes. In his post, he expresses his thoughts for the enclaved and resettled Maronites, as well as for the displaced who live in the free areas and abroad. Mavrides' announcement highlights the importance of preserving Maronite identity and culture, as well as the need for substantial contribution to the survival of the community. He commits to working to achieve these goals, with his gaze fixed on the occupied villages and the land of his ancestors.
