AKEL issued a statement in response to statements made by Irene Charalambidou, arguing that there are contradictions between her current positions and her previous statements regarding their cooperation. AKEL raises questions about her stance and choices, wondering why Ms. Charalambidou stated she wanted to continue cooperating with the party while now considering running as a candidate with another party. AKEL also questions whether it was right for Nikos Christodoulides to be elected, given that Ms. Charalambidou stated she supported the candidate backed by the Left. The party emphasizes the inconsistency of Ms. Charalambidou, who, while being a Member of Parliament with one party, is discussing the possibility of running as a candidate with another.
