The debate at the Central Committee for the 2023 Presidential Elections was long, but the crucial decisions on how AKEL will finally move are expected tomorrow Sunday.
General Secretary Stefanos Stefanou referred to the efforts made with DIKO throughout the previous period to reach a common candidate and explained why these talks did not produce white smoke.
As is known, after the two-day discussion at the Politburo on Wednesday and Thursday, the majority proposal of the body to the Central Committee was Andreas Mavroyiannis, but as expected, other opinions were heard today. Some members support the possible candidacy of Achilleas Dimitriadis, while there are others who consider an independent candidacy to be the best solution.
The members of the Central Committee expressed positions and concerns regarding the names that have been discussed lately. Concerning Andreas Mavroyiannis, the concern expressed is focused on the fact that he was until recently the negotiator of the Anastasiades government[/B]
The most important part of the discussion and then the final decision are expected tomorrow Sunday. Once the Central Committee has made a decision, it will prepare a recommendation to the party's grassroots groups. Members will be invited to take a position on the question to be put to a vote. A process that is expected to be completed by the end of May.
The decision on the candidate to be supported by AKEL will be taken on 5 June by the extraordinary Pancyprian Conference of the party.
