Christos Triantafyllidis maintains neutrality in DISY leadership race

Senior DISY official Christos Triantafyllidis has formally distanced himself from the political stance of his sister, Stella Kyriakidou, regarding the upcoming party primary. The internal party election, scheduled for November 28, 2026, involves the selection of the party's candidate for the 2028 presidential elections.

Stella Kyriakidou publicly announced her support for Giorgos Pamporidis on November 11, 2026. In response, Triantafyllidis clarified via social media that while he respects the right of every party member, including his sister, to choose a candidate, he maintains a position of strict neutrality. He emphasized that his role as the Chairman of the party's Legal Council necessitates this impartiality, particularly as he has already been consulted on legal matters concerning the internal electoral process.

This clarification follows a prior statement made by Triantafyllidis on October 11, 2026, where he originally established his intent to remain neutral throughout the selection process. The party continues its preparations for the vote, with members weighing the options between the competing candidates for the presidential nomination.
