A new poll reveals that half of Cypriot citizens support former Auditor General Odysseas Michaelides entering politics.
The survey, conducted by Prime Market Research and Consulting Ltd for philenews between November 20-22, gathered responses from 4,079 participants across Cyprus.
The results showed that 46% of respondents want the former Auditor General to become politically active, whilst 43% oppose his political involvement.
Among supporters of his political involvement, 36% believe he should run in the presidential elections, while 10% suggest he form a political party ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections. The strongest support for his political involvement was recorded in Larnaca, at 54%.
The survey also addressed Cyprus’s ongoing migration challenges. 56% of respondents believe the migration issue remains unresolved under the Christodoulides administration, with 28% saying it is “definitely not” resolved and 28% saying it is “probably not” resolved.
Conversely, 41% viewed the government’s handling of migration positively, with support highest among 18-24 year-olds at 68%.
