Presidential elections: Nikolas Papadopoulos's candidacy on the table for 2028

Members of DIKO are urging party leader Nikolas Papadopoulos to consider a presidential candidacy for 2028 as a means to gain political autonomy from the current government. Recent tensions surrounding the GSI project and unfulfilled agreements have highlighted deep frictions between DIKO and President Christodoulides. While some ministers insist on supporting the current administration, the party leadership is weighing a shift in strategy to address grievances over governance and policy implementation.
