Forecasts or Results

DISY remained the largest party (17 of 56 contested seats, 27.2%) ahead of AKEL (15 seats), but the far-right ELAM surged to 8 seats (+4) and new anti-establishment parties ALMA and ADK each won 4, fragmenting parliament further and weakening parties aligned with President Christodoulides.
