DISY-DIKO: The Ambitious Project of an Alliance

Published January 4, 2026, 07:23

A strategic alliance between DISY and DIKO is being intensely discussed within DISY, a move initiated by Charis Georgiades' plan to redefine the party as conservative-right and to mitigate differences with DIKO. This idea initially caused confusion and reactions, given the past of strong disagreements and criticism between the two parties, especially during Nikola Papadopoulos' presidency of DIKO. However, the discussion has matured, with joint proposals and behind-the-scenes meetings indicating a genuine approach. The common goals driving this alliance are limiting the influence of ELAM, controlling the momentum of Nikos Christodoulides, and creating a strong center-right faction with a perspective for 2028. DISY appears to be seeking a stable alliance to ensure its prospect of power.
