AKEL General Secretary Stefanos Stefanou has identified progressive change in the 2028 presidential elections as the party’s primary objective. Stefanou has called for the unification of progressive forces to address the challenges of governing within a global system dominated by capital and powerful institutions.

In subsequent remarks at a district conference, Stefanou argued that such a political shift is necessary to reverse the current trajectory of Cyprus. He attributed existing social and economic deadlocks, including the housing crisis, cost of living, and energy and water scarcity, to the policies of the previous Anastasiades administration and the current Christodoulides government. The party has also reaffirmed its support for a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation for the reunification of Cyprus and expressed opposition to far-right movements.
