Elam far-right party doubles parliamentary seats, becomes Cyprus's third force

Cyprus's far-right Elam party doubled its parliamentary seats to eight in Sunday's election, securing 10.9 percent of the vote. The Golden Dawn-inspired party, which opposes Turkish interests and immigration, became parliament's third-largest force. Mainstream parties defied predictions of collapse, with the communist Akel and conservative Disy parties maintaining their positions despite anti-establishment sentiment.
