Christos Christou on ELAM and today’s elections in Cyprus
ELAM president Christos Christou urged citizens to support his party in parliamentary elections, positioning it as a force for national dignity and security untainted by the old political system.
Christos Christou stressed that these elections are not simply about electing individuals for the next five years. They are about decisions that will determine the future of Cyprus and the generations to come. ELAM, he stated, does not come from the old political system and does not carry its burdens. On the contrary, it is based on faith in a homeland with dignity, security, and social justice.
In difficult times, always present
The party, according to its president, has proven its presence in critical moments. “Be assured that the contract of trust we have built with you will be honored with deeds and not words,” he emphasized. He added that they are ready to give all their strength so that Cyprus puts the interests of Cypriots above all else.
Christos Christou concluded his message by calling for a strong ELAM, which means a strong Cyprus. On Sunday, he said, citizens are called to decide whether they will raise their homeland and its ideals high once again.
The announcement in full
Fellow citizens,
We have reached the hour of important decisions.
These elections are not only about the individuals and political groups that will undertake legislative work for the next five years.
They are about the future of our homeland, the future of our children, the future of Cyprus itself.
ELAM is not just another political experiment.
It is the force of people who refused to compromise with decline, injustice, and the abandonment of our homeland.
We do not carry the sins and corruption of the old political system.
We only carry our faith in Cyprus, in our people, and in the struggle for dignity, security, social justice, and national survival.
In difficult times we were present
Be assured that the contract of trust we have built with you will be honored with deeds and not words
We are ready to give all our strength for a Cyprus that will put above all else the interests of Cypriots, a homeland proud, strong, and free.
A strong ELAM means a strong Cyprus.
On Sunday we decide to raise our homeland and our ideals high once again.
Parliamentary elections: When results and party seats are expected
By nine o’clock on Sunday evening we will know which parties are entering the new Parliament and with how many MPs.
The General Electoral Supervisor, Elikkos Ilias, provides a clear picture of the counting timeline. The process begins immediately after the polls close, at six o’clock on Sunday afternoon, provided there is no voter turnout at that time. The counting takes place at polling centers, with the presence of up to one representative from each party.
First, the votes for the parties will be counted. According to the instructions, around 8:30 to 9:00 in the evening the first clear estimates will have been formed regarding the entry of parties into Parliament and the number of seats each will occupy. This will be followed by the counting of preference votes for parliamentary candidates.
The nominal elections of the 56 MPs are expected to be completed around two o’clock on Monday morning. The final formalization of those elected may take a little more time, possibly until three or four in the morning.
However, for candidates who gather a particularly large number of votes, the picture may become clear earlier, even around 11:30 to 12:00 on Sunday night.
Mr. Ilias stressed that the entire process was designed to ensure transparency and speed, based on experience from previous electoral contests.
Citizens are expected to closely monitor developments throughout the evening, as Cyprus goes to the polls for the election of the new Parliament.
