An election was held on 26 May 2019 to elect six representatives fromCyprus to theEuropean Parliament.[1]
TheDemocratic Rally (DISY) has won every election to theEuropean Parliament sinceCyprus joined theEuropean Union in 2004.
According to final results, DISY again won the election with 29% and 2 seats. There were no changes in seat allocation, withAKEL also at 2 seats after securing 27% of the vote.DIKO andEDEK had 1 seat each, with 14% and 11% of the vote, respectively.
In terms of percentage, this wasEDEK's best European elections result since 2004 (although that year it did not win any seats).[2] Some attributed this in part totactical voting, with many fearing the far-rightELAM gaining a seat had it finished fourth.
