Member of Parliament and president of the Democratic National Movement (DEK), Andreas Themistocleous, has officially announced his candidacy for the upcoming legislative elections in May.

In his announcement, he described the DEK as an ideological, democratic, and national movement founded to provide a political platform for those disillusioned with current political trends. The candidate stated that his party seeks to address what he terms as moral decline and the prioritization of personal interests over national ones. He emphasized the party's focus on national survival and stated that it maintains a principled ideological stance. The announcement was made via a social media statement and followed media speculation regarding his future political plans.
