Changes in the Political Landscape of Cyprus After the Elections

May 31, 2026

The parliamentary elections on May 24 altered the political landscape of Cyprus, resulting in the most right-wing Assembly in its history. Right-leaning parties now cover two-thirds of the electorate. The new Assembly includes strong political forces like the Democratic Rally and ELAM. AKEL remains the main left-wing party with 15 seats, but political alliances are still possible. Party mechanisms played a crucial role in mobilizing voters.
