Presidential elections will be held in Cyprus in 2028. Should no candidate receive a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff will be held. The elections may be held earlier under exceptional circumstances, such as the resignation or death of the incumbent president Nikos Christoudoulides. Christodoulides, being in office since 2023, is eligible to run for a second term.
