The centre-right Democratic Rally has secured first place in Cyprus's parliamentary election, winning 27.2% of the vote and capturing seventeen seats in the legislature.
Final results confirm that the left-wing AKEL finished in second place, taking 23.9% of the ballots to secure 16 seats.
Beyond the traditional duopoly, the far-right ELAM achieved a historic breakthrough by moving up to third place overall, winning 10.9% of the vote and claiming eight seats.
The centrist Democratic Party finished in fourth place with exactly 10%, earning them also 8 seats.
The election also confirmed a significant wave of anti-establishment sentiment across the island as two newly established political formations officially crossed the threshold to enter parliament.
