25 May, 2016A total of 26 constituencies gave ELAM a double digit percentage of votes in the parliamentary elections, although the party lost ground in Paphos compared to the 2014 European Parliament elections, but gained more support in Nicosia and Limassol, stressed the newspapers in South Cyprus.
Specifically, two years ago ELAM had 27 constituencies whose votes garnered double digit percentages.
There were 16 in Paphos, 7 in Limassol, 2 in Nicosia and 2 in Larnaca.
On Sunday 22nd May, the 26 constituencies with double digit percentages were 11 in Paphos, 9 in Limassol, 5 in Nicosia and 1 in Larnaca.
The most popular area of support was the Politikou community in Nicosia, where the party chairman Christos Christou was born, where the party garnered 36.9 per cent of the votes.
On the other hand, retired Brigadier-General Yiorgos Kyriacou joins ELAM after his failed DIKO bid. Kyriacou announced on Tuesday that he is joining ELAM after he failed to be elected to the new parliament as a DIKO candidate in Sunday’s elections to the legislature. The 59-year-old blamed DIKO’s “internal mechanism” for the failure in a Facebook post, and announced his readiness to be at the disposal for the good of his country with ELAM.
