DISY and AKEL are locked in a neck-and-neck battle for first place in Cyprus's parliamentary elections.
According to the exit poll by public broadcaster RIK, the centre-right Democratic Rally (DISY) is projected to take between 22.5% and 25.5%, while the left-wing AKEL is on 21% to 24%.
The far-right ELAM is in third place at 10.5%-12.5%, and the centrist DIKO comes fourth at 8%-10%.
The 4% threshold for entering parliament is cleared by MEP Fidias Panayiotou's 'Direct Democracy' and the newly established ALMA of former Auditor General Odysseas Michaelides.
EDEK and Volt are fighting it out for a representation in parliament. For the pan-European and federalist Volt party it would be a first in Cyprus.
