UBP candidates outline municipal priorities in Dikmen and Nicosia
National Unity Party (UBP) candidates for local elections in Cyprus have presented their platforms for Dikmen and Nicosia.
In Dikmen, mayoral candidate Dr. Mehmet Ali Tunçbilek criticized the current administration for failing to fulfill previous promises. He highlighted issues such as the deteriorating state of the Dikmen landfill, unresolved road problems in Dağyolu village, and the absence of promised projects including an animal shelter, a village square, and a sports complex. Tunçbilek stated that his priority in the first year would be investing in permanent infrastructure rather than immediate asphalt paving.
In Nicosia, mayoral candidate Mehmet Aktunç visited the Nicosia Open Market to discuss modernization. He emphasized the need to address long-standing issues affecting vendors and citizens, specifically citing inadequate infrastructure, parking shortages, and the lack of protection from extreme weather conditions like heat and rain. Aktunç argued that municipal governance should focus on improving the daily lives of citizens through such practical improvements.
