EDEK Forms Advisory Body with Former Leaders, Nikos Nikolaidis Returns

The president of EDEK, Nikos Anastasiou, is forming an advisory body comprised of former leading members of the party, as part of preparations for the parliamentary elections. The council already includes the mayor of Lefkara, Sofoklis Sofocleous, and former MEP Koullis Mavronikolas, with invitations expected to be extended to former Strovolos mayor Savvas Iliofotou and former Limassol mayor Nikos Nikolaidis. The council will provide advice on the party's communication and election strategy. The return of Nikos Nikolaidis to EDEK after 9 years is significant, as he stated he feels the urgency of the moment and wants to contribute to the party's success. However, Nikolaidis does not wish to take on a party position or run as a parliamentary candidate, but to support the new generation of EDEK members.
