Government Reshuffle: New Political Appointments and Strengthened Party Representation
August 5, 2026
The recent government reshuffle announced includes several changes, with a greater representation from the parties DIKO and DISY. President Christodoulides opted for political appointments rather than technocrats to guide his administration. The Commissioner of Citizens, Irini Poyatzis, remains in government, while new positions are filled in the Ministries of Transport and Agriculture. DIKO strengthens its presence in the government with four ministers. Conversely, certain ministries remain unchanged, only partially meeting the demands from some parties.
