The Slave Kyrenia Association appeals to voters not to allow themselves to be considered "the ideological or client property of anyone", but as free citizens to demand that the Government give equal opportunities to all candidates to inform them in detail about their programme.
In a statement today, the Union called on voters to demand that each candidate demand detailed information about his or her program, as well as to reject any attempt to manipulate them.
Furthermore, it calls on citizens "thinking and acting freely to make their choice," noting that the most important thing of all is to go to the polls.
"In a democratic country," it says, "voters should form a single pool of votes for each candidate in an election."
"In a democratic country," it says, "voters should form a single pool of votes for each candidate in an election. Indeed, all candidates should have an equal opportunity to appeal to this pool of voters, presenting their life and citizenship and, more importantly, their proposed government programme, and to claim, in an equal electoral contest, the degree of eligibility they deserve on the basis of their government programme."
According to Slavery Kyrenia, "the President who wins such elections will then be the President of all the people and not as he is today who ends up being the President only of those who are kept rallied around him by clientele, from election to election, regardless of his performance and his future program".
