Equal time on RIK for all candidates for the Presidency of the Republic, candidate Konstantinos Christofides calls for, adding that this time should be fairly divided between peak hours and low viewing hours.
In a statement, he says that "in essence, television time on RIK is devoted only to President Anastasiades' successor in his party, his political soul mate and his closest partner in the Cyprus problem."
He notes that truly independent candidates are ignored almost daily on the grounds that these candidates are not supported by the parties. "On the other hand, Mavroyiannis and Christodoulides, calling themselves independents, are not given the same treatment as truly independent candidates. The RIK turns a deaf ear and turns a blind eye. They cannot be both independent and partisan at the same time, depending on what suits their interests."
