The President of the EPP, Mr.Marinos Sizopoulos, in an official statement after the announcement of the final results of the first round of the presidential elections, said the following:
"On behalf of the EPP, I would like to thank all the voters who came to the polls today to exercise their right to vote. Special thanks, however, to the members and voters of the EPP, who, despite the systematic, political warfare of the last few days against our party, successfully fought the battle of the first Sunday. Thanks also to the members of the other parties who contributed to this difficult effort and supported the candidacy of Nikos Christodoulides. The effort, however, continues in order to be completed next Sunday. And this at a time when our country is threatened by Turkey's expansionist policy. And our citizens continue to face the severe consequences of the economic crisis left by 2010. We must, with moderation and above all with unity and constructive synergy, continue the effort to protect our homeland and support the vulnerable groups of the population, within the framework of a people-centred government policy.
We call on voters to put aside the things that divide us from the past and together build the unity of the future. To regenerate the hope of our people. Nikos Christodoulides is that choice for this path. Let us go strong, let us go for victory. Thank you very much."
