PASOK Leadership Race: Candidates and Campaign Dynamics

The three candidates for the leadership of PASOK so far will meet in September. During the intervening days, Haris Doukas, Pavlos Geroulanos, and the current president, Nikos Androulakis, plan to seize every opportunity to promote their candidacies.

A new chapter opened today for PASOK, with most of its members attending the crucial Central Committee meeting, convinced that their proposal for an immediate leadership election this fall will finally be accepted by Nikos Androulakis.

Mayor of Athens Haris Doukas hinted that he plans to run for the leadership of the Socialist PASOK party in a social media post on Thursday. 

In a Facebook post Doukas stated that PASOK can defeat the ruling New Democracy party, just as he did in the mayoral election in Athens, while repeating the phrase "let's go."

Haris Doukas has responded to Manolis Christodoulakis’ call for cooperation with enthusiasm, expressing readiness to join forces immediately. In his post today, the Mayor of Athens affirmed their partnership, aiming to revive hope and unify efforts against ND, much like they successfully did in Athens.

Manolis Christodoulakis, a PASOK MP, has addressed a letter to Athens Mayor Haris Doukas amidst the backdrop of the PASOK leadership election.
