Cypriot right-wing parties in election crisis: professional competence vs. electability
Following the surprisingly rapid announcement of Annita Dimitriou as a presidential candidate, she follows Averof Neophytou. Analysts criticize that the major right-wing party has never overcome the crisis triggered by the election of Nikos Christodoulides three years ago. It is also being debated that candidates have been selected based on who is electable rather than who can govern.
