A leadership election was held on 14 June 2015 in the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). The leadership election took place after the 10th Congress of the Party, after PASOK's record low voteshare in the January 2015 Greek legislative election.[1]
Candidates included Andreas Loverdos, Odysseas Konstantinopoulos and Fofi Gennimata, who ultimately came on top.[2]
Due to the record low election results in the January 2015 elections and the electoral and parliamentary shrinking of PASOK, the party's internal organs began preparing for a Congress.
The 10th Congress of PASOK began on June 5 and lasted three days. The Congress decided on the shifting of PASOK to a party of the broader Centre-Left and the election of a new president by all party members on June 14. Finally, the new members of the Central Political Committee were elected.
