The Heroic Exit of DIKO is Postponed Until Further Notice

Despite the tough stance of some DIKO officials towards the President Christodoulides, a withdrawal from the government is considered unlikely. This is due to the fact that such a move would create uncertainty ahead of the 2028 presidential elections, as potential alliances with other parties, such as DISY, are not guaranteed. Although DIKO may be raising the tone publicly, there appears to be an effort within the party bodies to avoid an immediate withdrawal, as the conditions are not favorable for achieving the party's goals.
