Current Disy party leader Averof Neophytou and deputy leader Harris Georgiades are likely to bow out of the race for the leadership of the party, reports said on Tuesday, to make way for House President Annita Demetriou.
Throughout the morning, Disy members have been submitting their candidacies, ahead of party elections on March 11, which will determine the next leader.
So far, party spokesman Demetris Demetriou has officially put his name in for the seat of part leader, while Georgiades has reportedly arrived at the Disy offices, saying that he will meet with his team first.
The official process to submit nominations will close at 1pm and requires that the eligible candidate submit 100 signatures of individuals, who back their candidacy.
Speaking after submitting his nomination, the party spokesman said: “The goal is to unify the pieces of the Disy party.”
He said that he will not withdraw his candidacy regardless of whether the house president registers herself as a candidate or not.
