Averof Neofytou confirms 2028 Presidential bid addressing DISY developments
Averof Neofytou has officially confirmed his candidacy for the 2028 Presidential Elections during a press conference in Nicosia. Clarifying that his bid is directly aimed at the Cypriot people, he emphasized that he is not running merely to become a candidate but to win the presidency. He avoided specifying the internal party processes through which he will seek the nomination.
Neofytou also addressed reactions within the Democratic Rally (DISY) party following his announcement, reminding that he has been a longstanding member and aligns closely with the party’s base. He referred to a behind-the-scenes dinner before the parliamentary president’s election, where he was asked to support Anitta Dimitriou's re-election in exchange for backing in the presidential race, a proposal he declined.
Furthermore, Neofytou commented on Chris Panayiotou amidst rising party discussions about the upcoming 2028 election. DISY’s current president Anita Dimitriou has declared her intention to seek the party's nomination through official channels, prioritizing party unity and adherence to constitutional procedures.
