Presidential elections were held in Cyprus for the first time on 13 December 1959.[1] Only two candidates contested the election; Makarios III, who was backed by EOKA, and Ioannis Clerides, a member of the Democratic Union who was also supported by AKEL.[2][3] The result was a victory for Makarios III, who received 67% of the vote, although he did not take office until 16 August 1960.[4] Voter turnout was 91.2%.[3]
A separate election for Vice President of Cyprus took place. Fazıl Küçük was the only candidate, and was elected unopposed.[2]
