President Christodoulides plans upcoming cabinet reshuffle

President Nikos Christodoulides is preparing for a cabinet reshuffle to reset government operations and address changing political conditions. The move is considered necessary as the administration enters the final phase of its five-year term, with a focus on improving internal efficiency for the 2028 presidential cycle. While some sources suggest an urgency to complete the process by July 15 due to ministerial pension regulations, other reports indicate the changes may occur between late July and early August, or at least before September. The reshuffle is expected to feature a center-right orientation, with potential involvement of members from the Democratic Rally (DISY). The administration is currently evaluating minister performance to determine necessary replacements. The Maria Panagiotou appointment to public education has been confirmed as part of the broader administrative shift. Analysts note that these changes aim to solidify the government's agenda for 2027.
