Poll results ahead of the May 24th parliamentary elections in Cyprus

A new poll conducted by Analytica Market Research for Cyprus Times, involving approximately 4,928 to 5,000 eligible voters between April 9 and 24, 2026, highlights a fluid political landscape three weeks before the May 24th parliamentary elections. DISY is polling at 19.6%, down from 20.8% in March, while AKEL stands at 18.4%, down from 20.6%. The 1.2% gap between the two major parties falls within the margin of error of +/- 2%, indicating no clear front-runner. The survey reveals significant shifts, with Feidias Panayiotou's Direct Democracy movement rising to fourth place, surpassing Odysseas Michaelides' Alma party. The data indicates that voters are largely motivated by protest sentiment due to widespread dissatisfaction with the state of the country. Several parties are currently fighting for parliamentary entry, making the final outcome highly unpredictable. The full findings were scheduled for publication on Sunday, May 3, 2026.
