Andreas Christofi announces candidacy for 2028 Cyprus presidential elections

Andreas Christofi, president of the Agronomos (Agrarian Labour Party), officially announced his candidacy for the 2028 presidential elections in Cyprus. The campaign is built around the slogan "Political and economic power to the people," with the candidate emphasizing that citizens should have a continuous role in governance and the management of public wealth, rather than participating only as voters every five years. The platform prioritizes addressing the cost of living, reducing electricity prices, and ensuring that wages and pensions are sufficient to cover basic needs, including housing and healthcare.

Alongside the candidate, psychologist and hypnotherapist Anji Lupesku has been introduced as the party's press representative. During the announcement, Lupesku stated that she intends to visit Russia in one month to meet with Vladimir Putin, citing an urgent need to help end the Russia-Ukraine war. The party positions itself as a centrist alternative to existing political cliques, aiming to combat corruption and advocate for the middle class and workers.
