Averof Neophytou and Giorgos Pamporidis are reaching out to every audience 15 days before the internal party battle. The former DISY president took a stroll this morning through the Strovolos Public Market. An Alpha TV camera caught him shopping and chatting with people, with prices dominating the conversation and him treating bystanders to refreshments.
Giorgos Pamporidis began a two-day tour in Paphos alongside Michalis Ioannidis, Anastasia Anthousi, and other supporters, while in a social media post he called on his opponent to clarify his political stances. This was prompted by Averof Neophytou’s reposting of statements by the presidents of VOLT and Direct Democracy, which speak favorably of him.

“For me, my dear Averof, any potential collaboration with another party (even a neighboring one) must be based on shared principles and values, as well as shared visions. What about you?”
George Pamporidis
VOLT caught up with Averof Neophytou as he spoke from his camp.
“No one belongs to anyone.”

DIKO is… mulling it over
DIKO is leaning toward either running independently or supporting Christodoulides, ruling out cooperation with AKEL and DISY for the time being.
“DISY chose a candidate without consulting anyone. As for AKEL, the party’s Secretary-General has stated that he cannot enter into a process of cooperation.”
George Solomou – DIKO Secretary-General
Nikolas Papadopoulos’s party is not slamming the door in Christos Christou’s face, leaving a narrow opening for cooperation under certain conditions.
“If we are to support the president, we will support Nicos Christodoulides—neither ELAM nor any other parties participating in the campaign.” ”
Panikos Leonidou – DIKO Parliamentary Spokesperson
AKEL will not say a word about the name issue until the first round of consultations with other political forces on this, and they are refraining from commenting on Andreas Mavroyiannis’s analysis of the Alpha poll, in which he stated that “it makes him president.”
“Both Mr. Mavroyiannis and everyone else know that AKEL has a structured process—anyone can comment on hypothetical scenarios.”
Haris Polykarpou – AKEL Press Secretary
For now, DIPA, EDEK, and the Greens are focusing on their own affairs. The Greens will go to the polls tomorrow to elect their president.
