Second Candidate Withdraws from Direct Democracy Party

A second candidate for MP from the Direct Democracy party, Alfredos Alferdos, has announced his withdrawal from the ballot in Paphos. Mr. Alferdos cites spiritual and personal reasons, as well as his disappointment with the need to create a “caricature” to attract voters through videos, as he says, happens throughout the political system. In his post on social media, Mr. Alferdos expresses his tiredness of “playing the fool” to attract voters. His position on the ballot is expected to be filled by Aspasia Christodoulou, the first substitute candidate in the province of Paphos. This withdrawal comes shortly after the announcement of the withdrawal of another candidate from the party, suggesting possible internal disagreements or problems. Direct Democracy has not yet commented on the successive withdrawals.
