The members of the Central Committee of SYRIZA have voted on Saturday against the candidacy of Stefanos Kasselakis in the upcoming election for the party leadership.
A total of 151 members were accredited during the meeting, where supporters of Kasselakis and other officials who deemed the exclusion “ divisive” refused to collect accreditation badges to prevent a quorum and the decision from being made.
As a result, Kasselakis will not be included in the nominations for the leadership of SYRIZA, which closes on October 24.
The question now is whether the subsequent Congress on November 7-8 will decide differently and recognize Kasselakis as a candidate, as he and his supporters believe.
