Syka Out - Political Bureau of DISY Decides to Remove Him from Ballot

The Political Bureau of the Democratic Rally (DISY) has decided to remove Nikos Syka from the ballot for the May parliamentary elections. The decision was made after a vote, with an overwhelming majority (75 votes in favor, 9 against) in favor of removing the MP. Andreas Michailidis will take Syka's place. This decision came after intense discussions and attempts to persuade Syka to withdraw voluntarily, which did not happen. The leadership of DISY is reportedly determined to proceed with the removal, believing that Syka's remaining on the ballot would cause serious damage to the party.
