About Ersin Tatar

Ersin Tatar is a Turkish Cypriot politician who served as the fifth President of Northern Cyprus from 2020 to 2025. He previously served as the fourth Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus following the collapse of Tufan Erhürman's coalition government in 2019, and remained so until his election as president. He was also the leader of the National Unity Party (UBP) and Leader of the Opposition from 2018 until his election. In 1996, he founded the television channel Kanal T in Nicosia. From 1986 to 1991, he worked for Polly Peck, and was the company's assistant treasurer when it collapsed with debts of £1.3 billion. When Tatar visited the UK in 2019, for the first time since 1991, there was concern that he might be arrested for his role in the scandal; however, the government's Serious Fraud Office said that this was "no longer in the public interest".
