The decision of the Central Committee of AKEL to proceed with the adoption of the candidacy of Andreas Mavroyiannis is a blow to the efforts to achieve the maximum possible cooperation of the opposition forces in the upcoming Presidential Elections, believes independent Presidential candidate Marios Iliades.
In a statement, he says that it is not a matter of a person but of a broader handling, adding that since the other opposition parties have not yet proceeded to make final decisions, it is obvious that there was and still is room for further consultations.
Therefore, he continues, a new dialogue in this direction, without finalities and predetermined decisions, is an obligation of all of us who envision a new Cyprus with a new governance that has the citizen at its centre, the eradication of corruption and undue corruption and the much-needed reunification of our country.
As Marios Eliades says, my personal united candidacy, which was set up from the beginning to serve this goal, remains at the disposal of the Cypriot people as well as the opposition parties.
The opposition parties, I reiterate that they can, and even must, go to the elections united and with a candidate of common acceptance and enhanced eligibility, because this is the only way to ensure the end of the current government, concludes the candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
