SYRIZA’s political secretariat confirmed the removal of Stefanos Kasselakis as party leader in a vote late Thursday, following a no-confidence vote by the party’s central committee. The decision was supported by seventeen members, with only one dissenting vote.
An extraordinary meeting was called due to internal disagreements on the timing of the removal, with some suggesting Kasselakis should stay until the party’s congress in November. Supporters of Kasselakis protested outside party headquarters, expressing discontent with his removal.
In response, Kasselakis urged his supporters to remain calm and condemned the protests as provocative. This statement came after days of speculation about his future in politics. The incident has created uncertainty within SYRIZA, with questions arising about the party’s leadership moving forward.
