THE Attica is always the election barometeras the subscribers arrive almost 3 million. In July 2019 the ΝΔ finished first in AD Athens, in the North and South sector of NW Athens, in Piraeus and Eastern Attica. THE SYRIZA painted the map pink in the western sector of NW Athens, Western Attica and NW Piraeus. The battle in the next parliamentary elections will be fierce both in the Athens Parliament and in the Southern sector. Due to the increase in the number of State MPs from 12 to 15, two of the three seats will leave the specific regions.
Candidates for ND, who got 42.32% three years ago, will be the current MPs Olga Kefalogianni, Vassilis Kikilias, Thanos Plevris, Nikitas Kaklamanis, Angelos Syrigos and Fotini Pipili. It is reminded that o Konstantinos Bogdanos who was elected by a majority of votes will not be on the list of the current majority. The original plan was to add the extremely popular from his term in the Ministry of Digital Government to the ballot paper. Kyriakos Pierrakakis. Lately, however, the scenario seems to be prevailing to assume the position of government representative in the run-up to the electionsin his place Giannis Oikonomou, who will claim his re-election in Fthiotida. In this case it will be placed on the State ballot. In this way the prime minister will try to give emphasis on the reformist and centrist profile of government. The State ballot may also include Theodoros Skylakakis. A predictable “opponent” in the Athens University is the former rector Theodoros Fortsakis, from the moment he decides to be a candidate again as he was the first runner-up. It has already become known that the president of the nurses will also participate in the lists Dimitris Skoutelis.
In 2019, the blue faction in the Athens Parliament had elected seven deputies and SYRIZA (31.29%) four. Their Nikos Voutsis, Dimitris Tzanakopoulos, Nikos Filis and Christoforos Bernardakis. In the equation for Koumoundourou there will no longer be Rania Svigkou (she was the first runner-up), as as Secretary of the Central Committee of the party she has pledged not to run for office. If the Nassos Iliopoulos Remaining in the position of spokesperson is considered possible to enter the State ballot and not in the specific list although it is a region known to him because of his candidacy for the municipality of Athens in 2019.
The PASOK (5.16% in 2019) in the same region, among others, is expected to have him on its lists Costa Skandalidisτον Paul Geroulanos, τον Dimitris Oikonomou and Zefi Dimadama.
Of great interest is the southern sector where a seat is also expected to be lost. Nine deputies had been elected by ΝΔ (39.49%) and the “overcrowding” is large. In order the Nikos Dendias, Costas Kyranakis, Dionysis Hatzidakis, Haris Theocharis, Anna Karamanli, Sofia Voultepsi, Babis Papadimitriou, Giannis Kallianos and Vassilis Spanakis they had gotten the ticket to Parliament. Claims will be added to the list Takis Theodorikakos, Tassos Gaitanis and most likely o Nikos Hardalias.
For SYRIZA (32.03%) the Nikos Pappas, Theano Fotiou, Giannis Mouzalas, Giannis Balafas and Ralia Christidou will reclaim the vote of the people. The director of the parliamentary group Thanasis Theocharopoulos is one of the executives who will try to get a wedge in the new parliamentary formation of the party. In the PASOK (5.72%) in the Southern sector are expected to “parade” many top with them Tonia Antoniou, Theodoros Papatheodorou, Stefanos Xekalakis, Pavlos Christidis and George Petaloti to claim a seat in Parliament. Information states that one of the three regions that can be selected by Nikos Androulakis may be the Southern sector.
Top ministers set do not plan, according to information, to give battle to Parliament is the George Gerapetritis choosing to have an extra-parliamentary role, o Akis Skertsos who reportedly does not want to be replaced by a Deputy Minister of Development Nikos Papathanasis. THE Mina Gaga it is not excluded to be found again in the ND ballot.
