A historic number of candidates have entered the race for Cyprus's May 24 parliamentary election, setting the stage for a potentially fragmented legislature.
With 753 individuals contesting 56 seats, the election may curb the power of the three parties backing President Nikos Christodoulides.
Polls indicate shifts towards the far-right ELAM party and newcomers like ALMA, as public dissatisfaction with corruption remains a key issue among voters.
