The sources continued, “If we assume that the first phase of the municipal elections will take place on Sunday, May 12, 2024, and this is what is likely because the date of Sunday, May 5, coincides with Easter for the Eastern sects, this means that the minister can issue a call for municipal elections at the latest on April 12.” 2024.
