Democratic rally election campaign and economic program

The Democratic Rally (DISY) party is conducting a countdown election campaign leading up to the May 24, 2026, parliamentary elections. The party has focused on its '31 Policy Directions' program, highlighting economic stability and governance records from 2013-2023. Key policy areas addressed include national defense, international alliances, public health, and social welfare, specifically targeting pension sustainability and the support of the elderly. DISY leaders emphasize the importance of avoiding populism and maintaining financial responsibility to secure future prosperity. While opinion polls indicate a competitive race with internal support around 60%, the party is actively working to mobilize its base in critical regions like Limassol and Famagusta. Leadership acknowledges the need to reconcile potential differences between central party messaging and individual candidate stances. The economic plan sets ambitious goals, including reducing public debt to below 40% by 2031, while addressing current challenges such as inflation and housing costs.
