Overview
- Final counts showed the center-right DISY remained largest with about 27.2% and 17 seats, AKEL took roughly 23.9% and 15 seats, and far-right ELAM rose to about 10.9% and eight seats.
- Several centrist parties that backed Christodoulides lost ground or fell below the threshold, with DIKO reduced to eight seats and DIPA and EDEK failing to enter parliament.
- Newcomer movements won representation, with Direct Democracy taking about 5.4% and four seats and Citizens for Cyprus winning about 5.8% and four seats as anti-establishment forces gained support.
- Voter anger over corruption, rising living costs, housing and migration drove gains for insurgent and protest-style parties and eroded support for traditional centrists.
- The more fragmented 56-seat House will make passing budgets and reforms harder and could reshape alliances ahead of 2028 while Cyprus holds the EU Council presidency through the end of June.
