Second round presidential elections in cyprus this is considered a new electoral battle that sometimes harbors twists and turns and surprises regarding the results and dynamics presented in the first round. In this context Nikos Christodoulides And Andreas Mavroyannis they rush for alliances, impressions and certainly raise their stakes.

The Democratic Anxiety’s decision to vote at will, specifying that it would be in opposition, brought relief to the headquarters of Andreas Mavroyiannis. Not only because the support of alarmist Nikos Christodoulidis has been avoided, but also because officials, most notably DISY President Averof Neophytou, are talking about an excess, implying that they will support Mr. Mavroyiannis on the second Sunday. This may be the first time in the history of the Cypriot presidential election that the right-wing party does not run in the second round, and it is certainly the first time that DISY officials unofficially support a candidate supported by a left-wing party. In fact, Andreas Mavroyannis revealed that he talks daily to DISY President Averof Neofitou and that his attitude is touching.

The strategy of Andreas Mavroyannis and Nikos Christodoudis is turning around to strengthen their positions ahead of the second round of the presidential elections in Cyprus.

Whether the position of the DISY leadership will influence the alarmist base to support Andreas Mavroyiannis is an open question. It should not be overlooked that there is a strong anti-Akelism in the alarmist base, which the DISY management cultivated until last Saturday, when they warned about the destructive policies of AKEL and criticized Andreas Mavroyannis for dangerous populism in the economy. Although it is difficult for the base to fully unite with indirect instructions from the leadership to support Mr. Mavroyiannis, Nikos Christodoulidis understands that the second round of the presidential elections will not be a carefree walk for him. Mr. Mavroyannis has already enlisted the support of independent candidates Konstantinos Christofidis (1.59%) and Achilleas Dimitriadis (2.05%). Trying to dispel the fears of the right-wing audience, Andreas Mavroyiannis announced the well-known lawyer in Cyprus and the right-wing Charalambos Pruntzos as his finance minister. AKEL’s tactic of remaining completely in the background has not gone unnoticed to assuage the concerns of the AKEL government, which for many, after the 2008-2013 rule and the collapse of the Cypriot economy, is considered a wake-up call.

However, Nikos Christodoulidis is in constant contact with the alarmist circles in order to win the vast majority of the base. The question is what position the President of the Republic, Nikos Anastasiadis, will take in all this. It is recalled that immediately after the expulsion of Neophyte, he asked the party to come out publicly and support Nikos Christodoulidis.
