Early ‘parliamentary’ elections in the north
By Stefanos Evripidou Published on May 21, 2013
INTERNAL STRIFE within the ruling National Unity Party (UBP) in the breakaway regime yesterday led to the announcement of early ‘parliamentary’ elections in the north.
According to reports, seven or eight UBP rebels led by Ahmet Kasif had planned with the Turkish Cypriot opposition to table a motion of censure in ‘parliament’, forcing Turkish Cypriot ‘prime minister’ Irsen Kucuk to resign. A provisional government would then have been set up until new elections could be held three months later at the end of September.
