“I have trust in our people's judgment, I trust that with their vote and participation, we'll lead our homeland to better days,' Mavroyiannis said after voting.
Presidential candidates Andreas Mavrogiannis, left, who is backed by the left-wing AKEL party, independent and former foreign minister Nicos Christodoulides, center, and the right-wing Averof Neophytou are seated prior to their live televised debate in capital Nicosia, Cyprus, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. The Cyprus presidential election will take place on Sunday Feb. 5, 2023.
Averof Neophytou, 61, who took over the leadership of the country’s largest Democratic Rally party from Anastasiades has banked on his message as a veteran insider and the steadiest hand to ensure stability in times fraught with economic uncertainty. “I have trust in our people's judgment, I trust that with their vote and participation, we'll lead our homeland to better days," Mavroyiannis said after voting.
Opinion polls have consistently shown Christodoulides will head into the runoff against either Mavroyiannis or Neophytou. Cypriots will expect the new president to quickly move to buttress an economy buffeted by Russia’s war in Ukraine and its knock-on effect on the cost of living.
