In a highly anticipated showdown this Sunday, two candidates will compete for the leadership of Syriza, the main opposition party in Greece.
The Greek left is buzzing with anticipation as Stefanos Kasselakis, a former banker, enters the race, bringing with him a sense of excitement and uncertainty. Kasselakis, who is 35 years old, openly gay, and relatively inexperienced in politics, has surprised many with his emergence as a strong contender.
He will face off against Efi Achtsioglou, a seasoned politician and former labor minister in the Tsipras government.
Since the resignation of Alexis Tsipras, Syriza has lacked clear leadership, and the upcoming election is crucial for the party's future. It hopes that Kasselakis can usher in a new era and restore its status as a serious opposition party.
