The comprehensive governance programme and detailed positions on all issues is the advantage that the DISY president and presidential candidate has over his main rivals in the presidential race, Averof Neophytou. And of course this will be the forefront of the great electoral effort, which will enter the final straight after the summer holidays.
Unlike Nikos Christodoulides and Andreas Mavroyiannis, who are at the stage of formulating their election programmes, Averof Neophytou, being the leader of the ruling party, has a specific plan and is playing the game. This was evident from the event organized yesterday in Nicosia, in the presence of the President of the Republic, on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Rally.
This is one of the reasons why he and DISY are lobbying for a debate.
To be correct, a basic program of governance has also been formulated by Achilleas Demetriades, George Kolokasidis, Marios Eliades and Konstantinos Christofides. Nikos Christodoulides has published an outline of positions with policy axes, which are being enriched on the basis of his contacts with organised groups, while Andreas Mavroyiannis is still in the very initial stages and is running on fumes. However, the former negotiator is stepping up the pace, having as a vehicle the AKEL organisational machine, which is starting to get going. Atheatou information from Hezekia Papaioannou conveys the satisfaction of front-line executives for the response they have so far met in contacts with the party's people and more broadly. They acknowledge the many challenges ahead of them but believe that apart from rallying AKEL, Mavroyiannis will attract votes beyond the left wing.
At least three polls are being run these days, which will be made public soon and, as Atheatos is informed, there are results that allow the staffs of all three main contenders to be satisfied. First and foremost is the staff of Nikos Christodoulides, who, despite a slight retreat, is consolidating his lead in the vote intention and seems to be creating the conditions for winning the victory show as well.
