The Political Bureau of the C.C. of AKEL, which convened today on Friday 27/05/2016, continued its discussion on the election result of the parliamentary elections.
The members of the Political Bureau proceeded on the one hand to a broad and in-depth reflection on the causes that led the Party to get the unsatisfactory result in the parliamentary elections. On the other hand, the question of what should subsequently be done was discussed in detail so that AKEL will be able to successfully address the serious challenges it has before it and to then be able to regain its forces. The reflection that took place in the Political Bureau will continue next Monday at the Plenary of the Central Committee. In the coming weeks the Party Base Organizations will convene and the discussion to assess the election result among the Party membership will begin.
In addition, the Political Bureau was briefed by the General Secretary of the C.C. of AKEL about the contacts he had with the heads of other opposition parties on the issue of the election of the President of the House of Representatives.
The Political Bureau of the C.C. of AKEL also discussed the issue of the new Parliamentary Leader of the Party, a matter which will be discussed at tomorrow’s session of the Parliamentary Group of AKEL-Left-New Forces, as foreseen in the Party statutes. The decision on the Parliamentary Leader is taken by the Central Committee.
