Everyone to Their Corner

The approach of the parliamentary elections on May 24th is characterized by a tragicomic situation, with parties adopting various methods to rally voters. DISY seeks first place, regardless of voter loss, while AKEL would be satisfied with a good position. ELAM, due to its growing influence, is expected to play a regulatory role. DISY, facing voter leaks to ELAM, is trying to adopt positions closer to the far right, moving away from its principles. The party's leadership faces internal disagreements and President Annita Dimitriou is under pressure. AKEL remains stuck in old ideological stereotypes, while DIKO struggles to maintain its position in the political landscape.
