Cyprus Greens appoint interim leadership ahead of November congress
Katerina Hadjistylli and Loukas Stylianou will lead the Movement of Ecologists until an extraordinary congress on 14 November elects a new leadership.
The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens' Cooperation has put Katerina Hadjistylli and Loukas Stylianou at the helm on an interim basis, as reported by CYPE. Hadjistylli, the party's First Vice-President, and Stylianou, its Second Vice-President, will hold the reins until a new leadership is elected at an extraordinary pan-Cypriot congress on 14 November.
The decision was taken at an extraordinary pan-Cypriot congress held on Sunday, 13 September. Under it, the two vice-presidents assume all the duties the party's constitution assigns to the President and the Deputy President respectively. The movement thanked Stavros Papadouris and Maria Kola for their contribution during their terms in the two top leadership posts.
Elena Limpouri remains the party's press spokesperson, with Michalis Menelaou staying on as deputy spokesperson. In parallel, the process of rebuilding the Greens' youth wing (NE.OI.) has begun.
Article 61 of the party constitution has also been activated, scrapping all time-based conditions for the right to vote and to stand for election. As a result, anyone who has appeared on the movement's tickets in any election can take part in the process of filling all vacant posts.
What it means for residents
The change at the top of the Greens is an internal party matter, but it touches the everyday life of residents in a few practical ways.
- Local representation The interim leaders will steer the party's positions in municipal and community matters until the November congress, so residents dealing with local councils will still find the same party structures in place.
- Membership and voting The activation of Article 61 widens who can vote and stand in internal elections, which may bring new faces into the party's ranks before the next national ballot.
- No immediate change No policy decisions or public services are affected by the leadership handover, so residents need not act on this news.
