Government
[edit]The Municipality is governed by the 25-member Municipal Council of Amathounta and it consists of the incumbent mayor Kyriakos Xydias, the deputy mayors of Agios Athanasios, Germasogeia, Agios Tychonas, Akrounta, Mathikoloni, Mouttagiaka, Foinikaria and Armenochori, and the Municipal Councilors.[2][5][6]
