PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis is open to debating Athens mayor Haris Doukas ahead of their runoff election for the party leadership. Androulakis expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the internal party elections, where he secured 29.64% of the votes in the first round.

He thanked supporters for their votes and emphasized the importance of reviving PASOK as a party with big ambitions. The campaign was marked by political civility and integrity, with Androulakis addressing the potential for a debate following Doukas’ proposal.

The runoff election will see Androulakis and Doukas competing for leadership, with Doukas edging out MP Pavlos Yeroulanos in the first round. Former minister Anna Diamantopoulou finished fourth in the race.
