Cyprus Green Party holds extraordinary election congress to select new leadership

On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Cyprus Green Party (Kinima Oikologon – Synergasia Politon) is holding an extraordinary electoral congress at the Journalists’ House in Nicosia. The event was convened to fill leadership vacancies that arose following the party's failure to secure seats in the parliamentary elections, which subsequently led to the resignation of the previous leadership team.

The congress schedule includes registration at 10:30, with voting for the positions of president, deputy president, and second vice-president occurring between 12:00 and 14:00. The two candidates vying for the party presidency are Kyriakos Tsimillis and Katerina Hatzistylli. For the position of deputy president, the candidates are Olga Korobintseva, Elena Lympouri Kozakou, and Katerina Hatzistylli, who is simultaneously running for both the top leadership roles. The candidates for the second vice-presidency are Giorgos Papaloukas, Panagiotis Taliotis, and Oz Karahan. In addition to the leadership elections, the congress will involve the selection of members for the Central Committee.

This leadership transition is intended to provide a new political direction for the movement after its absence from parliament. Candidates like Hatzistylli have emphasized the importance of unity, open dialogue, and retaining membership to ensure the party's viability after 30 years of existence. The elected officials will serve an 18-month term.
