Averof praises Annita’s wise and responsible decision to pull out of presidential race

Former Disy leader Averof Neophytou has publicly commended current party president Annita Demetriou for her decision to withdraw from the 2028 presidential race. Demetriou stated that her primary motivation was to ensure party unity and prevent potential internal divisions, as the party prepares to select its own candidate. Following her withdrawal, the contest for the party's endorsement remains between Neophytou and former health minister George Pamboridis.
