The Secretary-General of the ruling National Unity Party (UBP) Irsen Kucuk has said it’s a very big possibility for Prime Minister Dervis Eroglu to run as a candidate in the presidential elections scheduled to take place in April next year.

Mr Kucuk was answering questions at a programme on BRT this morning.

He said the final decision on the UBP’s presidential candidate will be given by party organs.

The UBP Secretary-General expressed his ambition that, just as it happened in the early general elections last April, the UBP will again come out as the winner of elections next year.

“We will win the elections and sit at the negotiations table to maintain the talks” Kucuk said.

He noted that his party is in favour of the continuation of the Cyprus negotiation process.
