Giorgos Pamboridis challenges Averof Neofytou over potential 2028 election alliances

On November 13, 2026, Giorgos Pamboridis, a candidate for the DISY presidential nomination for the 2028 elections, publicly challenged his rival Averof Neofytou regarding potential political collaborations. In a post on the social media platform X, Pamboridis questioned whether Neofytou has been engaged in unauthorized contacts with the political groups Volt and Amesi Dimokratia (Direct Democracy).

Pamboridis expressed concern over reports suggesting that Neofytou is cultivating an image of alignment with these political entities this early in the electoral cycle. He specifically requested clarification on whether such contacts exist and, if so, upon what political principles or values they are founded. Pamboridis emphasized that any future governing coalition must be built on clear shared visions rather than premature, opaque arrangements.

While Pamboridis is actively campaigning in Paphos, joined by supporters Anthousis and Ioannidis, the exchange marks an escalation in the internal party competition for the DISY nomination. Neofytou has not yet issued a formal public response to these specific inquiries, leaving the status of these alleged political negotiations unverified.
