An escalating feud between the Presidential Palace and the Democratic Rally (DISY) continues in Cyprus, as both sides openly struggle for political dominance over the center-right.

President Nikos Christodoulides is preparing a coalition offer to the opposition Democratic Rally (DISY), which would grant the conservative party cabinet seats in the government.

Cypriot President Christodoulides' use of the term 'DISYAKEL' to suggest identical positions between the Democratic Rally (DISY) and AKEL has provoked strong reactions from both opposition parties, who reject the association.

Cyprus has abandoned its plan to grant the head of the intelligence service (KYP) the power to order wiretaps without a court order, as the Democratic Rally (DISY) failed to secure enough votes for the constitutional amendment.

Former Cypriot president Nicos Anastasiades announced his withdrawal from his roles within the Democratic Rally (Disy) party for the duration of any investigation into allegations of abuse of power.
