Balloting was therefore limited to the four-fifths of the islanders belonging to the Greek community. Obvious favorite for President was Archbishop Makarios, the bearded, decisive ethnarch of Cyprus' Greeks, who achieved political martyrdom when the British exiled him to the distant Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean in 1956, and since has impressed the British and the Turkish Cypriots with his moderation in victory.
