Syriza leadership elections and splits

On election night, Alexis Tsipras announced that he would propose leadership elections within Syriza,^[3] later announcing his full resignation and withdrawal from any potential leadership race four days later.^[4] Syriza's leadership race went into a second round between Effie Achtsioglou and party outsider Stefanos Kasselakis.^[5] Kasselakis went on to defeat Achtsioglou on a 12-point margin and was elected President of Syriza.^[6]

With his election, and his rhetoric of moving Syriza towards the political center, Kasselakis caused internal party turmoil,^[7][8] leading to the first major split from Syriza since the last one in 2015 (Popular Unity) and the creation of New Left two months into his leadership.^[9][10] In February 2024, Syriza's 4th Congress was held, with Kasselakis announcing party-wide elections after internal pressure,^[11] only to then back down (as the 2024 European Parliament election was upcoming) by the end of the Congress after an agreement brokered by party officials,^[12]

After Syriza's mediocre performance at the European Parliament election,^[13] as well as rapid and unpopular internal changes to the party,^[14][15][16] Kasselakis was ousted from the presidency by a vote of no-confidence in the Central Committee on 7 September and fresh elections were called.^[17] He was later barred from running by the Central Committee,^[18] and left the party during its extraordinary Congress, later founding his own movement, the Movement for Democracy.^[19] On 24 November, Sokratis Famellos was ultimately elected as president.^[20]

2023 local elections

On 8 October 2023, the first round of local (municipal and regional) elections was held, followed by the second round a week later, on 15 October. New Democracy lost 5 out of the 12 regions it had been elected in 2019, as well as the two largest municipalities, Athens and Thessaloniki.^[21] In Athens, the ecologist PASOK-backed Haris Doukas was elected mayor on the second round, defeating incumbent New Democracy-backed Kostas Bakoyiannis,^[22] after gaining the backing of Kostas Zachariadis, the third-placed candidate backed by Syriza.^[23] In Thessaloniki, PASOK-backed Stelios Angeloudis defeated New Democracy-backed Konstantinos Zervas on a landslide of 34 points.^[24]

2024 European Parliament election

In June 2024, European Parliament elections took place. In Greece, New Democracy topped the poll but at a much lower percentage than the June 2023 parliamentary election, with 28% of the votes and electing 7 members of the European Parliament (MEPs).^[25] Although opinion polls just two months prior showed PASOK – KINAL coming in second place, Syriza recovered into the second spot but with 2 fewer MEPs for a total of 4, while PASOK – KINAL remained in third place but elected one more MEP for a total of 3. Greek Solution and KKE came close in percentages but ultimately Greek Solution reached the fourth spot and KKE the fifth, with both electing 2 MEPs with 9% of the vote. Niki and Course of Freedom each elected an MEP, and Voice of Reason crossed the 3% electoral threshold for the first time, electing its leader Afroditi Latinopoulou as an MEP.^[26]

PASOK—KINAL leadership race

Immediately following the European Parliament election, PASOK – KINAL high-ranking members raised the issue of leadership one after the other, in response to the election results that were perceived as mediocre, coercing PASOK – KINAL President Nikos Androulakis to call for early leadership elections for October of the same year, bypassing the planned ones for late 2025.^[27] Newly elected mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas,^[28] as well as MP Pavlos Geroulanos,^[28] announced their candidacies on the same Central Committee meeting, that elections were decided upon. Other candidates included Anna Diamantopoulou,^[29] Michalis Katrinis,^[30] and Nadia Giannakopoulou.^[31] After a close race for the second spot between Doukas and Geroulanos, Doukas made it to the second round along with Androulakis;^[32] however, he went on to lose on a 20-point margin against him. Nikos Androulakis was re-elected to the Presidency of PASOK – KINAL,^[33] and so he became the Leader of the Official Opposition in late November 2024, as enough Syriza MPs became independent for it to drop in seat count behind PASOK – KINAL.^[34]

2025 presidential election

By late 2024, as the purported date of the election of the President of the Hellenic Republic approached,^[35] parties began announcing their candidates for the post.^[36][37][38] Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis proposed Kostas Tasoulas,^[39] who won out in the end after four rounds of voting, with 160 votes out of 300, on 12 February 2025.^[40]

Farming subsidies scandal (OPEKEPE)

In May 2025, the "OPEKEPE scandal" broke out over the abuse of farming subsidies, from illegal ones, false declarations of farmland, and general covering-up of the entire scheme. Initiated by whistleblowers and an intervention by the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the scandal forced resignations of government ministers and caused a political turmoil.^{[citation needed]}
