The 2024 European Parliament elections in the Republic of Cyprus

The 2024 European elections in the Republic of Cyprus, coinciding with local government elections, present a distinctive electoral landscape. Voters will participate in eight distinct contests, navigating newly created positions following local government reform—a fact that already designates this election as the most demanding in Cyprus's history. Approximately a year after President Nikos Christodoulides' closely contested victory as an independent candidate, the political climate witnesses declining popularity and widespread distrust. This prompts the question of whether the second-order logic of European elections impacts voter behaviour and whether broader party dynamics at the EU level will add further complexity amid an ongoing political transformation characterised by a diminishing role of ideology and political parties in general.
