Parties target undecided voters in final campaign push

Parties and candidates are intensifying their efforts as the pre-election period nears its end. A significant portion of the electorate has already decided on the elections, while others are undecided or considering not voting. Parties are focusing on convincing undecided voters, those who may not vote but have a history of voting, and dissatisfied voters looking to switch parties. Party organizers are fully mobilized, with leaders reaching out to target voters. Major parties face the challenge of retaining their percentages and limiting defections in the final stretch of the pre-election period. Communication efforts are being made to resonate with partisan audiences, with several parties holding final rallies. The tone of the campaign is expected to escalate, with attempts to create a polarized scenario with intense party confrontations.

‘, Time to choose’: Rishi Sunak calls UK national election for July 4

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a national election for July 4, with his Conservative party expected to lose to the opposition Labour Party. Sunak emphasized his achievements in government and urged voters to choose between progress or uncertainty. Labour leader Keir Starmer focused on the need for change. Sunak, trailing in opinion polls, is taking a risk by calling an early election, facing challenges within his party and economic uncertainties. Both parties are already campaigning on economic and defense issues. If Labour wins, it would be the sixth prime minister in eight years. Some Labour officials are concerned about undecided voters and the need for a significant swing in votes to secure a majority. Sunak may be banking on a controversial asylum seeker scheme to boost his party’s chances.

Catalans vote in an election that offers a new chance to exiled separatist leader

Catalans are voting in a regional election between an exiled separatist politician, Carles Puigdemont, and the Socialist Party led by Salvador Illa. Puigdemont, who fled Spain after a failed independence bid in 2017, is vowing to resurrect the bid if elected. Opinion polls predict a lead for the Socialists, with the possibility of forming a coalition government due to the likelihood of no party reaching a majority. If no agreement is reached by August, a repeat election would take place in October.

ELAM climbs to 3rd place in June European elections Phileleftheros poll, as DISY and AKEL fly low and DIKO drops to fourth

Less than three months before the European Parliament elections, a poll conducted by Pulse Market Research for Phileleftheros shows that 50% of voters are still undecided about their choice for the June 9th election. The poll results indicate a decline in voter interest for major parties, with the Democratic Rally (DISY) and AKEL both falling below 20% in voter preference, and all other parties in single digits. ELAM has risen to third place, while the Democratic Party (DIKO) has dropped to fourth. According to the poll, DISY is at 17%, AKEL at 14%, ELAM at 8%, DIKO at 7%, Socialist EDEK at 3%, the Greens at 2%, and the government alliance DIPA at 0.3%. More than a third of respondents are undecided, and 9% intend to abstain. Compared to the 2021 results, DISY has seen a 10% drop from almost 28%, and AKEL’s drop is attributed to the undecided vote, falling from 22.3% in the previous election. ELAM is the only party showing an increase, from 6.78% to 8%.
