Parliament: How the presidencies of Committees are divided among the parties

“White smoke” came from the meeting of the political leaders with the Speaker of the Parliament, regarding the division of the presidencies of the parliamentary committees.

As we are informed, it was agreed that DISY and AKEL will receive 5 presidencies of each committee, 3 presidencies will be taken by DIKO and 1 presidency by EDEK, DIPA and the Movement of Ecologists, while ELAM, as we learn, will take the presidency of Ad Hoc for the demographic problem.

With the creation of the Ad Hoc committee, which will be received by ELAM, the parliamentary committees increase to 17 out of 16.

Specifically, according to information:

  • DISY will chair the Committees on Foreign Affairs, Trade, Health, Law and Institutions.
  • AKEL chairs the committees of Home Affairs, Labor, Refugees, Agriculture, Human Rights.
  • DIKO is chaired by the Finance, Audit and Education Committees.
  • ELAM will chair the Ad Hoc Committee on the Demographic Problem,
  • EDEK the Committee on Defense,
  • the Ecologists chair the Environment Committee and
  • DIPA chaired the Transport Committee.

It is recalled that until the beginning of the debate, there was a strong atmosphere, with the whole controversy starting from the fact that for some political parties, especially for AKEL, giving the presidency to ELAM was a casus belli and he insisted that his party did not intends to consent in this direction. On the other hand, the president of DISY, approaching the issue realistically, pointed out that one of the parliamentary parties cannot be forbidden to take the presidency.
