Pheidiou Elected Leader of 'Direct Democracy Cyprus'

Pheidiou Panagiotou was elected the new leader of the 'Direct Democracy Cyprus' party. His election is considered by many to be an expected outcome, given the intense publicity and mobilization that preceded it. However, participation in the vote was limited, with only 7,048 people voting out of over 17,000 confirmed members. Panagiotou has prioritized registering citizens on electoral rolls, aiming to broaden the party's electoral base. The results show a clear victory for Panagiotou with 56.79% of the vote.
