THE NATIONAL Popular Front ELAM – the extreme right wing party with links to their Greek counterparts Golden Dawn – has announced that it will vet a presidential candidate for February’s upcoming presidential elections.
ELAM said yesterday at a news conference in Limassol that it was their duty as the country’s up-and-coming power to propose a candidate at a difficult time for the country, state broadcaster CyBC said.
The candidate is due to be presented this Sunday in Nicosia in the presence of Golden Dawn deputies from Greece, Ilias Kasidiaris and Yiannis Lagos.
In the meantime, ELAM said that they will distribute food, clothes and toys “to our vulnerable compatriots” this Saturday in Limassol.
ELAM – which was registered as a party last year – failed to secure a seat in parliament during elections in May 2011, though it secured 1.08 per cent of all votes or 4,350 votes, which is close to the minimum requirement of 1.8 per cent of total votes. The four newcomer parties got 2.13 per cent between them.
