DIMITRIS DIMITRIOU—DISY
Parliamentary Spokesperson: ““We’re not discussing what we’ll do in the second round, because we’re certain our candidate will be in the second round.”
MARINA SAVVA—Member of the AKEL Central Committee: “Mr
. Christodoulides is starting out by calling himself the ‘winner in every scenario,’ etc. First of all, let me say that he’s the only one running a campaign; it’s a bit difficult to run on your own and finish in second place.”
ANDREAS PAPACHARALAMBOUS—ELAM Member of Parliament: “There
is the possibility of running independently, and there is also the possibility that another proposal will be formulated.”
CHRYSIS PANTELIDIS—DIKO Member of Parliament: “The
Democratic Party has the option of supporting President Christodoulides or running independently; these are the facts as I see them at this moment.”
FIRST ROUND
In the second round, under both scenarios, Nikos Christodoulides secures the highest percentage of the vote compared to his opponent. He garners 45% compared to 38% for Andreas Mavrogiannis and 40% compared to 35% for Averof Neophytou.
In the third scenario, Andreas Mavrogiannis emerges as the winner with 41% against Averof Neophytou (36%)
, and in the fourth scenario, Andreas Mavrogiannis comes in first with 42%, compared to George Pamporidis (32%).
ANDREAS MAVROGIANNIS—Former
Negotiator““If you compare this to where we were in 2022, much closer to the election, and where we’ve ended up now, well, I think this poll shows me as President.”
Andreas Mavrogiannis, however, is set to announce in January whether or not he will run for President in 2028.
