A FRAIL former president Glafcos Clerides was accompanied by Nicos Anastasiades to the Lycavitos School polling station in Nicosia.
“I came and voted,” he said. “I voted for Nicos Anastasiades.”
Asked if he felt touched by Clerides’ presence Anastasiades replied: “When your political father turns up to support you, it is only human to feel touched.”
Describing Clerides as the founder of the party and moderniser of the Cyprus Republic, Anastasiades said it was “natural to feel emotional today, when despite his years he came to exercise his right to vote and strengthen our effort.”
He said Clerides had advised him to practise politics with a spirit of unity for the good of Cyprus.
