In conclusion, and while waiting for the final results, I would like to thank the media representatives for the constructive cooperation we had, but also for the immediate and objective coverage of the elections.

The counting of votes continues, and very soon we will know the name of the candidate who will be the new President of the Republic of Cyprus.

As soon as the official final results are available, we will make our next announcement and then we will go to the “TASSOS PAPADOPOULOS-ELEFTHERIA” stadium for the proclamation of the new President of the Republic.
