·

Member of European Parliament, Nikos Androulakis, has been elected the new leader of the Movement for Change (KINAL) party.

Partial results announced by the party at 8:45 pm showed Androulakis, 42, leading former Prime Minister George Papandreou, 69, 68.42% to 31.58%.

Androulakis, a civil engineer, was a former youth leader at the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, one of KINAL’s constituent parties, and has been a member of the European Parliament since 2014. He is considered a moderate. He self-identifies as a Social Democrat.

Papandreou has called Androulakis to congratulate him.

The polls closed at 7:30 pm on Sunday, with just over 206,000 party members and friends voting, less than the 270,000 who voted in last Sunday’s first round.
