NICOSIA,CYPRUS: Greek Cypriots voted Sunday in presidential elections seen as a referendum on a U.N. plan to reunite the island, split into Greek and Turkish enclaves since 1974. President George Vassiliou the only leading contender to support the proposal won 44% of the 355,535 votes, but not the majority needed to wrap up the elections in one round. Rightwing candidate Glafcos Clerides came in second with nearly 37%, an election official said. A runoff is scheduled for Sunday.
