Reducing electricity prices remains the government’s top priority, according to President Nikos Christodoulides, who also said he will decide in 2027 whether to seek a second term, dismissing suggestions that his administration is already operating in campaign mode. Acknowledging that electricity prices remain high despite government interventions, Christodoulides argued that measures such as the reduction in VAT had already eased the burden on households by increasing disposable income. He insisted that bringing electricity prices down remains doable. On the 2028 presidential election, Christodoulides declined to confirm whether he will seek re-election. Responding to accusations that Cyprus is failing to tackle corruption, Christodoulides argued that no government seeking to protect corruption would have strengthened the Independent Anti-Corruption Authority.
