Far-right Elam party inspired by Golden Dawn makes big gains in Cyprus elections
The far-right Elam party in Cyprus has significantly increased its presence in the parliamentary elections, doubling its seats from four to eight. This party, inspired by Greece's Golden Dawn, has gained traction amid disillusionment with traditional politics. Meanwhile, mainstream parties managed to maintain their positions despite predictions of a decline.
- ▪Elam secured 10.9% of the vote, becoming the third largest party in the Cypriot parliament.
- ▪The centrist parties, including EDEK, failed to enter the legislature, marking a historic defeat.
- ▪The rightwing Disy and communist Akel parties won 27.2% and 23.8% of the vote respectively, with no seats lost.
