The European Elections of 2024 in Cyprus marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the country. One of the most notable outcomes of these elections was the election of 24-year-old TikToker and YouTuber Fidias Panayiotou as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP). Garnering 19.4% of the vote, Panayiotou’s success is remarkable not only due to his background but also because he came close to the percentages of the two major parties, Democratic Rally (DISY-EPP) and Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL-GUE), and outperformed several historical and established parties, such as the Democratic Party (DIKO-S) and the Movement for Social Democracy (EDEK-S).
