Disputes Among Parties Over Parliamentary Committee Chairmanships

June 10, 2026

The allocation of chairmanships of the parliamentary committees is causing tensions among the parties. The MPs appear to agree on maintaining 16 committees instead of reducing them to 14, as initially proposed. However, disagreements over the chairmanships raise concerns and might require court intervention if no agreement is reached. AKEL seems to have objections regarding ELAM's interests in certain committees. The situation remains tense, as demands and negotiations continue.
