The sixth candidate of the Democratic Rally will be appointed by the party President Nicos Anastasiades. All candidacies will be ratified during a meeting of the party’s Supreme Council on March 14.
Democratic Rally, which is a member of the European People’s Party, is currently represented at the European Parliament by two MEPs: Ioannis Kasoulides and Panayiotis Demetriou.
Cyprus will participate for the second time in the EP elections. The first time was in June 2004, only one month after Cyprus’ accession to the EU. Cyprus is represented at the EP by six MEPs.
