Tassos Papadopoulos was elected President of Cyprus, defeating incumbent Glafcos Clerides. His campaign focused on a hardline stance against the Annan Plan for reunification, appealing to Greek Cypriot nationalists.

Papadopoulos urged Greek Cypriots to reject the Annan Plan in a referendum, arguing it did not adequately address security and property rights. The plan was overwhelmingly rejected by Greek Cypriots, while Turkish Cypriots approved it, ending the reunification effort.

Papadopoulos oversaw Cyprus's accession to the European Union on May 1, 2004, despite the failure of reunification. The accession applied only to the Greek Cypriot south, deepening the division of the island.

Papadopoulos was defeated in the presidential election by Demetris Christofias. His loss was attributed to economic concerns and a desire for renewed reunification talks, as Christofias promised a more conciliatory approach.
