If no candidate had crossed the 50% threshold, a run-off would have been held on 25 April. Background The International Crisis Group stated in an article titled Cyprus: Reunification or Partition?, published on 30 September 2009, that the upcoming elections in April 2010, were of critical importance to the then-ongoing negotiations between Talat and Demetris Christofias to find a solution for the Cyprus dispute. It was stated that the election results could have a defining impact on the future of the island and whether it would be reunited or divided.Tokyay Menekşe ICG: Kıbrıs'ta Karar Anı Yaklaşıyor http://bianet.org/biamag/bianet/117377-icg-kibrista-karar-ani-yaklasiyor Bianet 1 February 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140510194012/http://bianet.org/biamag/bianet/117377-icg-kibrista-karar-ani-yaklasiyor 10 May 2014 Cyprus: Reunification or Partition? http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/europe/turkey-cyprus/cyprus/201-cyprus-reunification-or-partition.aspx International Crisis Group 1 February 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150102165624/http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/europe/turkey-cyprus/cyprus/201-cyprus-reunification-or-partition.aspx 2 January 2015 dead Candidates The two main candidates were the current President Mehmet Ali Talat from the Republican Turkish Party and the incumbent Prime Minister Derviş Eroğlu from the National Unity Party (Ulusal Birlik Partisi, UBP).

Talat supported the negotiations for a new plan to reunify the island (and had also been in favour of the Annan Plan for Cyprus) whereas his opponent supports a "two-state solution".https://archive.today/20120914031503/http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/news-206422-talat-election-loss-would-kill-cyprus-peace-talks.html Talat: Election loss would kill Cyprus peace talks, Today's Zaman, 5 April 2010 The other five candidates (all of them independent) were:http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/news-207420-102-trnc-president-says-turkeys-eu-membership-depends-on-solution-of-cyprus-problem.htmlMay 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes Mustafa Kemal Tümkan Arif Salih Kırdağ Zeki Beşiktepeli Ayhan Kaymak Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu Results Turnout was 70%.
