“the left-wing AKEL is on 21% to 24%”
SINGLE SOURCE
One source (Cyprus Mail) mentions that AKEL is forecast to place second and that the 'big two' parties are expected to see their shares fall. While a separate RAI poll mentions AKEL at 21%, it is not the RIK exit poll specified in the claim. Only one source generally supports the trend, but the specific RIK percentage is not confirmed by multiple independent sources.
