Mrs. Fofi Gennimata has been elected as new President of PASOK, thus becoming the first female leader of the party since its foundation. Mrs. Gennimata was running against Andreas Loverdos and Odysseas Konstantinopoulos, after Evangelos Venizelos recently stepped down from the party’s leadership.

Following the election, Mr. Loverdos and Mr. Konstantinopoulos both congratulated Mrs. Gennimata on her win and pledged their support during what they both argued was a difficult period for the party and the country.

The outgoing president has arranged to meet with Mrs. Gennimata, Mr. Loverdos and Mr. Konstantinopoulos on at 12:30 on Monday.
