Powerful seismic and aftershocks are predicted for the political scene in Cyprus, as the trends recorded so far suggest the country, besides the geological earthquake, will be hit by the electoral upheaval of the parliamentary elections. The time distance from Sunday, May 24, 2026, may be significant, yet analysts’ assessments indicate that, generally, a disposition for a negative vote exists towards traditional parties and a tendency towards more anti-establishment choices.
The last two public opinion polls from Reporter and RIK reflect these societal trends, which, if ultimately expressed at the ballot box, predict strong political Richter magnitudes. These, in turn, are expected to cause a domino effect of developments in the parties’ high offices.
