Cypriot political parties react to cabinet reshuffle

Following a recent government reshuffle in Cyprus, political parties have issued official statements regarding the new cabinet composition. The Democratic Alignment (DEPA) expressed its congratulations to the newly appointed ministers, deputy ministers, and commissioners on August 5, 2026, while formally thanking the outgoing officials for their service. The party emphasized its support for the success of the new cabinet during the political transition.

On August 6, 2026, the Democratic Party (DIKO) also released a statement following the swearing-in ceremony of the new members of the Council of Ministers. The party extended its well wishes to the new appointees and pledged to continue contributing to the government's work with constructive proposals and policies aimed at social cohesion and modernization. While these parties expressed support, other political entities, such as AKEL, have criticized the developments, characterizing the process as involving political bargaining and behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

The current status follows the completion of the formal swearing-in ceremony. The new cabinet is now expected to begin its duties, with political observers monitoring how the updated government structure will handle its stated objectives for national progress.
