International Elections Digest: Dueling Cypriot elections yield mixed result for reunification hopes
● Cyprus—president (Jan. 28 & Feb. 4)
● Northern Cyprus—legislature (Jan. 7)
Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades of the center-right Democratic Rally is in a good position to prevail in this month's runoff and win a second five-year term after he finished with a 36 percent plurality of the vote in round one. Most important for the incumbent's chances is a split in the opposition. The second-place finisher ended up being leftist independent Stavros Malas, who has the support of the communist AKEL party. Malas won the second runoff spot by a 30-26 margin over Nikolas Papadopoulos of the center-right Democratic Party, which later refused to back either candidate in the second round.
