The President of the Democratic Party (DIKO), Nicolas Papadopoulos, in an official statement following the final result of the 2023 Presidential Elections, said the following: "Today, civil society won. Today unity and collectivity won. Congratulations to the elected President of the Republic of Cyprus, our friend Nikos Christodoulides. Congratulations to Cypriot society, to citizens from all political areas, from the left, the centre, the right, who embraced the independent candidacy of Nikos Christodoulides, who has shown a new ethos for politics. Tomorrow dawns a new day, a new day. A new day in which we will need to preserve fiscal stability, to achieve economic growth and social cohesion. We will have to work to deal effectively with migration, to safeguard and strengthen Cyprus' European and Western orientation and, of course, to seek a proper solution to the Cyprus problem, to give hope and prospects to the Cypriot people.
Friends,
In this new day that dawns tomorrow, the Democratic Party will continue to contribute constructively to policy making and to finding solutions to the problems of the citizens. But I would be remiss if I did not say thank you, a big thank you, to the volunteers, the volunteers, the staff, the members, the voters of the Democratic Party. I want to thank them for their hard work, for their contribution to today's election victory.
Compatriots,
Today there are no winners and losers. Our fellow citizens who made other choices, either today or last Sunday, as well as our fellow citizens who abstained from voting, have both a role and a place and a future when it comes to policy-making. However, the thousands of our fellow citizens who, together with us, voted today for Nikos Christodoulides and entrusted him with the governance of our country for the next five years, have a role and a place. Tonight we have the right to rejoice and celebrate. But with respect, with decency, decorum and restraint. From tomorrow we have a duty to work hard for the unity and collectivity that Cyprus needs. For the unity and collectivity that society demands. To take Cyprus forward, to serve our people, to bring better days for the country and the people."
