Former Cypriot Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides has been elected as the country’s new president.
Sunday’s run-off ballot was a bitterly-contested, close-run ballot that followed an inconclusive first round of voting last weekend.
The new president had been facing off against Andreas Mavroyiannis, a chief negotiator in peace talks with Turkish Cypriots.
Priorities for the new President include the state of the Cypriot economy, irregular immigration, and the longstanding territorial dispute with Turkey.
