The Cabinet (sworn in on 1 March 2023[1]) formed by Nikos Christodoulides is the 14th Government of Cyprus[2] and forms part of the Council of Ministers.
In the House of Representatives, the Government is in a minority coalition with the Democratic Party, Movement for Social Democracy and the Democratic Alignment party.[3]
The Cabinet comprises Ministers affiliated with the coalition parties represented in the House of Representatives, with the addition of the Solidarity Movement party (which lost all its seats in the 2021 elections). Notably, some Ministers are members of the Democratic Rally, one of the main opposition parties.[4][5]
The inauguration ceremony of the new president took place on February 28, 2023 at a special meeting of the House of Representatives.[6]
On January 8, 2024, Christodoulides announced a major reshuffle, changing his health, justice, defence and agriculture ministers. The ministers were sworn on January 10.[7][8] He faced heavy criticism for his removal of the Minister of Defense, Michalis Giorgallas.[9][10]
On June 17, 2024, he established the Deputy Ministry of Immigration, and, two days later, appointed Nikolas Ioannides as the first Deputy Minister.[11][12]
On November 9, 2024, Annita Demetriou, the leader of the opposition, announced the establishment of a shadow cabinet for the first time in the history of Cyprus.[13]
