A second political party in the north, ruling coalition party the YDP, on Friday endorsed incumbent Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar to be re-elected to the role when elections are held in October.
The decision to endorse Tatar was ratified by the party’s congress at a meeting on Friday evening, with the largest party in the north’s three-party ruling coalition, the UBP , having already endorsed Tatar’s campaign in April.
