UK Cypriot enters London mayoral race as independent

UK Cypriot Andreas Michli has thrown his hat in as an independent candidate in London’s upcoming mayoral elections.

As described on his campaign page, “Michli is a proud father, health and fitness entrepreneur, businessman, campaigner, and lifelong Londoner.”

He is the founder of a gym in London, which during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 was issued with over £120,000 in fines and ordered to close.

Michli refused, fought his case in court, and won with costs awarded.

“Since then, he has increasingly felt that London’s so-called leaders do not have the city’s best interests at heart – and now, the time has come to do something about it,” his website said.

Michli’s proposals for his candidacy are outlined in depth on his website and broken down into various sections.
