Syka Case: Court Reserves Decision - Issue of Interpretation of the Statute, Not Determination of the Ballot

The Court has reserved its decision regarding the interim order concerning the participation of Limassol MP Nikos Syka in the ballot of DISY. The matter concerns the interpretation of the party's statute and not the determination of the ballot. Both sides presented their positions, with Syka's side arguing that his participation was the result of elections and that collective bodies cannot alter electoral decisions. The other side argues that this is a political decision and that there is no statutory provision for the specific issue. The Court clarified that its role is to interpret procedures and not to select the ballot.
