Ezekia Papaioannou is at the center of discussions ahead of the Parliamentary Elections, with AKEL trying to secure her participation. Despite not being included in the party's ballot, AKEL General Secretary Stefanos Stefanou revealed a proposal to continue her cooperation with the party, through the creation of an independent observatory for collusion and corruption. Ireni Charalambidou herself expressed dissatisfaction with her treatment by AKEL, as she has not been involved in the party's processes for many years. At the same time, she has not ruled out running in the elections again, with indications pointing to a possible alliance with ALMA of Odysseus Michailidis. She is expected to make official announcements about her next steps at the end of March - beginning of April.
