  • [01] ARCHBISHOPRIC ELECTIONS - FINAL RESULTS

    The counting of ballots, in the first phase of a process that leads to the election of a new Archbishop of the Autocephalous Church of Cyprus, has been completed.

    According to the final results, the 1,400 special representatives of the four candidates, who will subsequently elect 100 general representatives, are distributed as follows: Paphos Bishop Chrysostomos 125, Kition Bishop Chrysostomos 19, Limassol Bishop Athanasios 641 and Kykkos Monastery Bishop Nikiforos 615.

    Acting primate of the Church Bishop of Paphos Chrysostomos expressed the hope that the second phase will be smooth and conclude in 21 days.

    ``One person will be elected and he will be the Archbishop, respected and loved, and I will stand by him and support his mission, he said.

    Asked about objections regarding problematic ballot boxes and tampering, he said that this issue will be cleared on Friday at a meeting of the Holy Synod.

    Out of the 1,400 special representatives, 400 are elected from the Archbishopric district that includes Famagusta district as well, and 200 from each of the metropolitan districts of Pafos, Larnaca, Kyrenia, Limassol and Morphou.

    An Assembly will then be formed comprising ex officio members (such as bishops, deputy bishops, abbots and monks) and the 100 general representatives.

    The new Archbishop must secure the majority of votes in both ballot boxes of the ex officio members and the general representatives.

    The new Archbishop will replace the ailing Archbishop Chrysostomos, who has been incapacitated for the past four years.
