Charis Georgiadis has formally broken ranks with the Democratic Rally leadership, announcing he will not support Averof Neophytou for the presidency. Mr Georgiadis cited unspecified political missteps for the split; the development has sparked immediate reactions and entered the party into a new period of internal friction.
The Council of Ministers has moved to simplify the building permit system. By replacing tiered rates based on area and cost with a flatter fee structure, the government hopes to increase transparency and reduce the time applications spend sitting on official desks.
A low-pressure system from the Aegean brought hail and gale-force winds to the island, leaving parts of Larnaca and Limassol without power. Meanwhile, the Church of Cyprus is preparing for a meeting between Archbishop Georgios and the suspended Metropolitan Tychikos; the latter faces anything from a return to grace to permanent deposition.
