Kasselakis says new party name to be decided by 3-day open vote from Nov 20-22

Stefanos Kasselakis, who recently split from the leftist SYRIZA opposition to form his own political party, announced on Monday that the name of the new venture will be decided through a three-day open vote from November 20 to 22.

"This is an act that is both symbolic and substantive," Kasselakis said in a social media post. "In this new beginning, members and supporters will shape decisions in the most modern and participatory political party Greece has ever seen: To build a modern state from the ground up. To build a true democracy from the ground up. To rebuild our lives from the ground up."

The three-day ballot will conclude before the first round of SYRIZA's leadership elections.
