With the participation of more than 60,000 voters, the primary elections for the composition of the SYRIZA European ballot took place on Sunday. “The bet was won in this election too” is the assessment that dominates the leadership of the party and they talk about a massive turnout that exceeded all expectations.
Of course, there are also famous executives, they are reserved and speak for a good participation. In fact, they believe that everything will be decided from now on in the effort to increase the party’s rally.
The results so far show that especially in Attica we had a predominance of the favourites. Nikos Farandouris is the one who seems to lock the lead and he is followed by the basketball player, Nikos Pappas and the Olympic sailing champion, Sofia Bekatorou. For the remaining three places in the top six, it looks like we have a battle.
The actor Marios Athanasiou and George Tsipras seemed to have “cleaned up” their presence in it, while the difference between Evangelos Antonaros and Dimitris Papanotas was small.
In the region of central Macedonia, the press representative, Dora Avgeri, and the journalist, Dora Tsambazi, had a big difference, while Olympia Telioridou had taken the lead in Western Macedonia early on.
A Kasselakis in Crete
From there on, the battle of Crete is of particular interest. There, Vasilis Kasselakis, cousin of the president of SYRIZA, was the first to cross, followed by Maria Kaludioti and Maria Tzorakaki.
In Central Greece, we had a duel for first place between Eleftheria Gletsou and Nasos Papargyropoulos, while in Western Greece, Panagiotis Kouroublis seems to have secured his own place on the SYRIZA ballot paper.
Finally, in the region of Epirus, Marios Katsis confirmed the title of favorite.
Soon the announcement of the results
In the next few hours the list of 35 candidates will be announced and it will be interesting to see who will be left out as there is also a 50% women-men quota.
With the return of Stefanos Kasselakis from the USA, the countdown will begin for the announcement on Friday of the entire European ballot as he also has the chief privilege of choosing five persons to be included in the list.
