Its six presidential candidates were announced PASOK for the internal party elections of October 6, 2024 (even if a second round is needed on October 13, 2024), after the audit carried out by the Ethics Committee for the Implementation of the Statute and Certification (EDEKAP).
The competent Committee of PASOK-KINAL decided that the 6 candidates who meet the conditions, as defined by the Statute and specifically the collection of signatures of either 15% of the members of the Central Political Committee, or the collection of 5000 signatures of members, are Nikos Androulakis, Pavlos Geroulanos, Nadia Giannakopoulou, Anna Diamantopoulou, Haris Doukas and Michalis Katrinis.
Yannis Kanellakis, who ran a pre-election campaign as a candidate, will not participate for the leadership of PASOK, as he did not submit the signatures required by the statute of at least 5,000 PASOK members or 15% of the total number of members of the Central Political Committee.
At noon on Thursday, September 12, EDEKAP issued the following announcement:
“The Ethics Committee for the Implementation of the Statute and Certification (EDEKAP) of PASOK-Movement for Change, completing on Wednesday 11/09/2024 the prescribed check of the signatures submitted to the Committee for the declaration of the candidates for President of the Movement, found that all 6 candidates meet the conditions set by the Statute, specifically the collection of signatures of either 15% of the members of the Central Political Committee, or the collection of 5000 member signatures, noting that all candidates submitted unique signatures multiples of the prescribed limit for their declaration.
After that, it unanimously decided that:
Announces as candidates for the office of President of PASOK-Movement for Change during the electoral process of October 6, 2024:
NIKO ANDROULAKIS
PAUL GEROULANO
NANDIA GIANNAKOPOULOU
ANNA DIAMANTOPOULOU
GRACE DUKE
MICHALI KATRINI
EDEKAP calls on the members and friends of PASOK-Movement of Change to contribute to ensuring the greatest possible participation of all members and friends of the Movement in the process of electing a president from the grassroots, as first established by PASOK.
At this critical political juncture when PASOK-Movement for Change is dynamically increasing its forces, everyone’s participation in the electoral process will give a resounding message for the political change that the country needs.
For EDEKAP
The President
Nana Bryoni”
“Unifying, inclusive”
There was no involvement with the Duke nomination. It is worth noting that for a long time Nikos Androulakis appeared to oppose the exclusions. In fact, in a question that was put to him at noon on Thursday, during the press conference in the context of the 88th TIF, he said that every nomination is welcome, and added that “we will go united. No exclusions. I’m willing to talk politics.”
Immediately after the announcement of the nominations, PASOK’s presidential candidate Anna Diamantopoulou invited her co-candidates to a first debate with the main topic “What is the center-left today?” and, among other things, how they position themselves for what the center-left expresses “which PASOK even invokes the shares of SYRIZA”. In her statement, she states the following:
“And now let the real politics begin
And now that it has been finalized, who are the official candidates for the leadership of PASOK, in the elections of October 6, I invite and challenge my fellow candidates to a first debate with a main topic.
What is the center left today?
What does social democracy stand for in the 21st century?
How do each of us understand these concepts
What do we tell the younger and distanced from politics generations that the center-left that PASOK invokes and even the shares of SYRIZA really expresses.
It is a first start to bring politics back to the fore and our beliefs to the center.
To re-engage old friends and comrades and to attract new ones to our views on addressing the diverse and multifaceted problems of today and tomorrow.
I hope for everyone’s response, as a harbinger of the Great PASOK that we all declare that we are seeking”.
