With the completion of the nomination process, we are entering the final stretch towards the elections of February 5, 2023, for the election of the new President of the Republic.
As you have seen, the whole process went smoothly and without any problems and for this I thank all the candidates and their electoral staffs.
Based on the nominations that have been submitted, we have 14 nominations which have been approved by the Registrar General with his signature and which are listed below in the order in which they were submitted:
Andreas Efstratiou
Loukas Stavrou
Celestina De Petro
Christos Christou

In accordance with the provisions of the Election (President and Vice President of the Republic) Law, until 6.00 p.m., there is a deadline for filing objections against any of the nominations I have previously mentioned, on any of the grounds mentioned in section 13(1) of the Law. Objections may be lodged at my office in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
If objections are lodged, they will be considered and decided promptly and finally by the Registrar General, so that the nominations can then be finalised.
We are already in consultation with the Government Printing Office to prepare a draft ballot paper, which will be presented on Monday to the representatives of the candidates for any comments, and, once finalized, the Government Printing Office will be instructed to start printing the ballot papers.
I wish all candidates good luck and look forward to their cooperation in conducting the electoral process in an exemplary and flawless manner, without any problems.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all my colleagues in the administration of the Ministry of Interior and the Press and Information Office for all the preparatory work for today's event. I also thank all of you Press Officers for your excellent cooperation.
