President Seeks Center-Right Governance, Plans for Center-Right Coalition

The President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, is seeking a center-right majority in Parliament, a statement interpreted as an effort to ensure political stability and prevent the loss of political identity. While his government is supported by centrist parties, the President wants to send a message to the right-wing electorate that the cooperation is a matter of necessity and not ideological shift. This statement keeps open the possibility of cooperation with DISY, the largest right-wing party, and acts as a barrier against potential government erosion. The parties supporting the government are reacting differently, with DIKO feeling downgraded and EDEK seeing the statement as confirmation of the contingent nature of the cooperation.
