Voters in Cyprus head to the polls Sunday for what is shaping up to be one of the country's most significant parliamentary elections in decades.
Although the parliament holds limited powers within the presidential system of the Republic of Cyprus, the outcome of the election is expected to transform the country's political landscape.
Citing recent opinion polls, journalist and political analyst Sotiris Paroutis said Cyprus is heading toward "a profound transformation of its political scene," characterized by the weakening of the country's two dominant parties and by the collapse of traditional centrist forces. Meanwhile, new political forces are gaining support.
