But all five showed ELAM in a battle with centre-left party EDEK for fourth spot, with the far-right party making significant gains from its surprise showing in 2016 when it finished in eighth place with 3.7% of the vote. In its own exit poll, the CyBC showed support for ELAM to hover between 5-7%. An exit poll by private TV station OMEGA showed ELAM to have garnered 6.5-9.5% of the vote. All five exit polls show the centre-right DIKO party to be in forth place.
