DISY wins Cyprus election but loses ground as far-right ELAM surges and new parties enter parliament
Cyprus’s ruling DISY party wins parliamentary election but loses ground as far-right ELAM surges and new parties reshape the legislature.
The conservative DISY party has secured first place in Cyprus’s parliamentary election, according to final results and exit polls, but its support has slipped by nearly four percentage points compared to 2021. The party, led by President Nikos Christodoulides, is projected to win 22.5–25.5% of the vote, translating to 15–17 seats in the 56-member House of Representatives—down one from the previous term .
The far-right ELAM party has made the most dramatic gains, nearly doubling its share to 10.5–12.5% (+4.7 points) and securing 7–9 seats, up from just 3 in 2021. This marks the first time a far-right party will hold such a significant bloc in Cyprus’s parliament . Left-wing AKEL remains the second-largest party with 20.5–23.5% (-0.3 points), while the centrist DIKO loses ground, falling to 8–10% (-2.3 points).
Two new parties, ÁDK and ALMA, enter parliament for the first time, each winning 5.5–7.5% of the vote. ÁDK, a centrist splinter group, and ALMA, a liberal party, collectively claim 5–9 seats, reflecting voter frustration with traditional parties. The pro-European Volt Cyprus also makes its debut with 3–4% and 2–3 seats, while the social-democratic EDEK suffers losses, dropping to 3–4% (-3.2 points) and risking its parliamentary representation .
Turnout stood at 65.7%, slightly below the 2021 figure of 66.7%, as voters weighed economic concerns, migration, and the unresolved Cyprus dispute. The results set the stage for complex coalition negotiations, with DISY likely to seek partners among smaller centrist and liberal parties to form a stable majority. ELAM’s rise, however, introduces a new dynamic, with the party expected to push for stricter immigration policies and a harder line on reunification talks.
The election also serves as a test ahead of next year’s European Parliament vote, where Cyprus’s shifting political landscape could influence its stance on EU migration, energy, and security policies.
