Alexandros Kaminaras, a 34-year-old architect of Cypriot descent, has secured a second term as mayor of the town of Velké Meziříčí in the Czech Republic. In the recent municipal elections, his party, 'Společné VM', achieved a decisive victory by capturing 54.29% of the vote. This result grants the coalition 14 out of the 23 available seats in the municipal council, an increase of one seat compared to his previous term.

Kaminaras, who was born in Nicosia and moved to the Czech Republic at age seven, first became the youngest mayor in the city's history in 2020. Following his re-election, he stated that the result confirms public approval of his administration's past work. Despite holding an absolute majority, he has publicly expressed his intention to foster broad cooperation with other political factions in the council. The victory was formally acknowledged by the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Prague, which offered its congratulations to the mayor for his continued success.

His professional background includes graduation from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Currently, he is focused on commencing his new term and managing the municipal affairs of the town, continuing the projects initiated during his initial tenure.
