Three candidates for PASOK leadership
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
PASOK MPs Fofi Gennimata, Odysseas Konstantinopoulos and Andreas Loverdos will compete for the leadership of the party, after Evangelos Venizelos, who chaired the party since 2012, announced in a party congress late on Saturday he was stepping down.
Following a lengthy speech, Venizelos said he will continue to be active in the party and politics.
PASOK members will now have to select one of the three contenders in a nationwide party vote next Sunday (June 14). After securing the backing of a minimum of 10 pct of the delegates, the three candidates took to the podium to present their views on the party’s future.
PASOK was the junior coalition partner in the previous New Democracy-led government of Antonis Samaras who lost the elections on January 25.
