Ex auditor-general ponders presidential ambitions

Ex auditor-general Odysseas Michaelides said he was considering running for president in the 2028 elections.

Speaking on CyBC on Wednesday evening, Michaelides said that, although it was early days, he was thinking and evaluating the possibility.

Criticising President Nikos Christodoulides, the ex auditor-general said that a shift in administration was necessary, the country was “rotten” and a change in the culture and way of thinking should come about, starting from the head.

Michaelides also said he was not interested in running for MP, especially with existing political parties.The ex-official was fired in September, after the Supreme Constitutional Court found his conduct had been unbecoming and thus he was unfit for his duties.

Michaelides accused President Nikos Christodoulides and attorney-general George Savvides of “collusion” to ensure he was removed from his post.
