AKEL Removes Irene Charalambidou from Parliamentary Group

AKEL has decided to remove MP Irene Charalambidou from its parliamentary group following disagreements regarding her political future and potential cooperation with other parties. This decision came after a series of meetings between the MP and the party's secretary-general, Stefanos Stefanou, where no agreement was reached. AKEL is also requesting Charalambidou's resignation from the presidency of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights. The MP had expressed interest in potential cooperation with the ALMA party, which provoked a reaction from AKEL's leadership.
