Greek Australian, John Nikolakakis, has resigned as President of the World Council of Cretans before the end of his three-year term.
Mr Nikolakakis was first elected as President in October 2021 and outlined his plans for his elected term, which was set to end in 2024.
Since his resignation, Mr Nikolakakis has been replaced by another Greek Australian and former Treasurer of the World Council of Cretans, Nick Markogiannakis.
