The Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA) and head of the Cypriot delegation, Ms Irene Charalambidou, was re-elected to the post of Vice-President until 2025, receiving the most votes among her fellow candidates. The vote took place on the last day of the 29th Annual Session in Birmingham, UK, during the plenary session of the Organisation.
Seven candidates, including Ms Charalambidou, contested the four vacant Vice-Presidency positions. The result is considered a very big and important success as the vote was held under adverse circumstances for Ms Charalambidou as there were behind the scenes synergies to prevent her re-election. In addition, Mrs Charalambidou's co-candidates included MEPs from the host country Britain, Ukraine, Germany and Spain.
