Biography
Sizopoulos' election as President of EDEK followed the resignation of Yiannakis Omirou.[2]
In parliament, he represents the Limassol District, having been initially sworn in in 2003 after his predecessor had to leave his position due to his appointment to the cabinet, with Sizopoulos having been his runner-up at the parliamentary elections two years earlier. Sizopoulos was elected to a full term in 2008, but failed to win re-election in 2011. He returned as a lawmaker in the 2016 elections and was once again re-elected in 2021.
