Pamboridis praises Demetriou after withdrawal from Disy presidential nomination race
George Pamboridis expressed his “absolute respect” for Annita Demetriou after she withdrew from the race for Disy’s nomination for the 2028 presidential election.
Nicosia, Cyprus. Former health minister George Pamboridis said on Friday that House President and Disy leader Annita Demetriou commands his “absolute respect” after withdrawing her candidacy for the party’s nomination for the 2028 presidential election. Her withdrawal a day earlier left Pamboridis and former party leader Averof Neophytou competing for Disy’s endorsement.
Praise for Demetriou’s leadership
Pamboridis said Demetriou had faced challenges unlike almost any other politician, describing what he called “a coordinated campaign of undermining, fuelled by petty gossip and whispers”.
He said she had risen to the occasion, proving worthy of the historic office she holds while safeguarding party unity.
Support for the party’s direction
Pamboridis said he had “already admired her”, adding that she now “also commands my absolute respect”.
He pledged his “unabashed support” for Demetriou as long as she steers Disy “along the path charted by our founders”.
