You can suppose whatever you want... TP lost simply because AKEL abandoned them and placed their own candidate, and if you recall the first round results you'll find that the country was split extremely close in three. TP's result was very impressive given that he represented a much smaller party than the other two candidates and clearly proves a considerable swing from those larger parties in his direction.
