## Political parties

[edit]

For other political parties, see List of political parties in Cyprus. An overview on elections and election results is included in Elections in Cyprus.

### Democratic Rally (DISY)

[edit]

Main article: Democratic Rally

The centre-right Democratic Rally (DISY) is the largest political party in Cyprus, currently holding 17 of the 56 seats in the House of Representatives.[4] Founded on July 4, 1976, by veteran politician Glafcos Clerides, DISY emerged from the split of the right-wing "Eniaion" into two opposing parties: DISY and DIKO.[5][6]

DISY is a Christian democratic[7][8] and liberal-conservative[9] party, often described as the most Atlanticist, pro-NATO and pro-EU party in Cyprus.[10][11] The party is currently led by Annita Demetriou,[12] who also serves as the President of the Cypriot House of Representatives, making her the first woman to hold this office.[13] Two former leaders of the party have served as Presidents of Cyprus, Glafcos Clerides (1993–2003) and Nicos Anastasiades (2013–2023).[14] DISY is a member of the European People's Party.[15]

Over the years, internal disagreements, particularly regarding the Cyprus issue, have led to the formation of three splinter parties: the European Party (EvroKo), European Democracy (EvroDi)[16][17][18] and Solidarity Movement.[19][20] The current President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, was previously a member of DISY and served as Government Spokesman (2014–2018) and Minister of Foreign Affairs (2018–2022) under Anastasiades. Christodoulides sought DISY's nomination for the 2023 presidential election, but following accusations of undermining his campaign, he resigned from his ministerial role and launched an independent candidacy.[21][22][23]

[edit]

Main article: Progressive Party of Working People

The left-wing Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) is the second largest political party in Cyprus, currently holding 15 of the 56 seats in the House of Representatives.[4] It was founded in 1926 with the name "Communist Party of Cyprus" fighting against fascism, imperialism and chauvinism, but also aiming at the independence of Cyprus from British rule.[24]

AKEL is a Marxist–Leninist, eurosceptic and communist party,[25][26][27] classified as left-wing[28][29] to far-left.[30] It is currently led by MP Stefanos Stefanou and it is a member of The Left in the European Parliament.[31] One party leader, Demetris Christofias, served as the President of Cyprus (2008-2013) for one term, without seeking re-election. Other presidents that were supported by AKEL were Archbishop Makarios III, Spyros Kyprianou, George Vassiliou and Tassos Papadopoulos.

#### Notable Figures

### Democratic Party (DIKO)

[edit]

Main article: Democratic Party (Cyprus)

The Democratic Party (DIKO) is the largest centrist political party in Cyprus,[32] currently holding 9 out of the 56 seats in the House of Representatives.[4] Like the Democratic Rally (DISY), DIKO was founded in 1976 following the split of the right-wing "Eniaion". Initially named the Democratic Alignment (DIPA), the party was led by Spyros Kyprianou.[5]

DIKO is variously described as centrist,[33][34] centre-left[35] or centre-right;[36][37][38] internationally, it is a member of the Progressive Alliance, which groups together mainly centre-left parties.[39] DIKO claims to be the most loyal follower of the policies of Archbishop Makarios, the founding father of the Republic of Cyprus.[40] It is currently led by Nikolas Papadopoulos, son of Tassos Papadopoulos, former President of Cyprus and of DIKO.[41]

At its inception in 1976, DIKO maintained the right-wing ideology of its parent-party, Eniaion.[5] However, in June 2003, under the leadership of Tassos Papadopoulos, DIKO announced a shift away from its traditional centre-right stance and declared an intention to move towards social democracy.[42] The party has adopted a firm and hardline stance on the Cyprus problem, particularly in its strong opposition to the Annan Plan in 2004. While DIKO supports European integration and advocates a non-aligned foreign policy, it has also expressed support for Cyprus joining NATO's Partnership for Peace.[43]

Two former leaders of the party have served as Presidents of Cyprus, Spyros Kyprianou (1977-1988) and Tassos Papadopoulos (2003-2008). The current President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, although running as an independent, was supported by DIKO, making the party the largest in the current government.[44]

Internal disagreements over the Cyprus problem led to the creation of the splinter party Democratic Alignment (DIPA), in 2018, led by the former president of DIKO, Marios Garoyian.

#### Notable Figures

[edit]

* Spyros Kyprianou, former President of DIKO (1976–2000), President of the House of Representatives (1976-1977, 1996-2001) and President of Cyprus (1977-1988).

* Tassos Papadopoulos, former President of DIKO (200-2006), President of the House of Representatives (1976) and President of Cyprus (2003-2008).

* MP Nikolas Papadopoulos, President of DIKO since 2013 and DIKO's candidate in the 2018 presidential election.

* MEP Costas Mavrides, DIKO's Member of the European Parliament since 2014.

* Makis Keravnos, member of DIKO, former Minister of Labor and Social Security (2003-2004), and Minister of Finance since 2023.

* Antigoni Papadopoulou, former MP (2001-2009), MEP (2009-2014), Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (2001-2009) and Mayor of Morphou (1996-2001).

* Vasilis Palmas, member of DIKO, former Government Spokesperson (2007-2008), Deputy Minister to the President (2017-2022), and Minister of Defence since 2024.

#### Notable Former Party Members

[edit]

* MP Marios Garoyian, former President of DIKO (2006-2013), President of the House of Representatives (2008-2011), and founder and leader of the splinter party DIPA.

## Administrative divisions

[edit]

Map of the Districts in Cyprus

See also: Districts of Cyprus

The island is divided into 6 administrative divisions: Nicosia (Lefkosia), Limassol (Lemesos), Larnaca, Paphos, Famagusta (Ammochostos), and Kyrenia.[d]

## Exclaves and enclaves

[edit]

Cyprus has four exclaves, all in territory that belongs to the British Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia. The first two are the villages of Ormidhia and Xylotymvou. Additionally there is the Dhekelia Power Station, which is divided by a British road into two parts. The northern part is an enclave, like the two villages, whereas the southern part is located by the sea and therefore not an enclave --although it has no territorial waters of its own.[45]

The UN buffer zone separating the territory controlled by the Turkish Cypriot administration from the rest of Cyprus runs up against Dhekelia and picks up again from its east side, off of Ayios Nikolaos (connected to the rest of Dhekelia by a thin land corridor). In that sense, the buffer zone turns the south-east corner of the island, the Paralimni area, into a de facto, though not de jure, exclave.
