In the 2019 elections Piraeus constituency there was an impressive turnaround: h N.D. managed to increase its percentage by more than 14 points compared to the percentage received in the September 2015 elections and win five of the six seats in the constituency. In particular, the ruling party won 43.73% of the vote compared to 29.45% in September 2015. SYRIZA, which in 2015 received 4 seats with a percentage of 33.63%, in 2019 was limited to one seat, gaining 29.72% of the vote. The two main parties together won all the seats in 2019. In 2015, Golden Dawn took sixth place.
The data for the upcoming elections is changing as Piraeus A loses one seat based on the latest census data, which increases competition between candidates and parties.
For her N.D. a new candidature in this region, which significantly changes the facts, is the candidacy of the Deputy Minister of Welfare Domnas Mihailidu, who is participating in the competition for the voting of citizens with good prospects. Based on the measurements taken, it is believed that he enjoys a high preference of voters. In previous elections, Konstantinos Katsafados, Giannis Melas, Nikos Manolakos, Noni Dunia and Christoforos Boutsikakis were elected from the ruling party in this constituency. The main issue, which does not seem to be at stake, is whether the party should retain the first place and win as many votes as possible from there. However, it is considered extremely unlikely that it will retain all the five seats it won in the previous elections, as this, given the change in the electoral map, would mean that no other party would elect an MP in Piraeus A.
TO SYRIZA Thodoris Dritsas was elected in the 2019 elections. In the upcoming elections, he will again be a candidate, as it was said, for the last time, as he plans to retire from active politics. With a stable presence in Piraeus over the years, both in the central political arena and in local government, Mr. Dritsas is ranked first on the list of candidates from the main opposition party. In the 2019 elections, he received 10,618 votes, followed by Maria Repoussi with 6,210 votes and Kostas Douzinas with 5,375 votes.
In 2019, she won 5 out of 6 seats – Domna Mihailidu is the new face of the Blues and Mr. T. Dricas will be a candidate for the last time.
PASOK announced candidates for the First Piraeus, of which Vassilis Katsafados, Lazaros Athanasiadis and Katina Voureksaki-Tambouratsi had run in previous elections. Andreas Vrontakis, Mara Koukudakis, Despina Bistina and Nikos Spanakos complete the new newsletter. From Harilaou Trikoupi, one would hope for a place in this region, but this is considered extremely difficult, especially after the reduction of seats by one.
When re-voting in Piraeus also appears KKE. In the previous elections, Semina Digeni was the first in terms of votes, gaining 2846 crosses. It was announced that in the next elections, Ms. Digeni, who will again be a KKE candidate, will be included in the ballot for the southern sector of Athens. In the upcoming elections, the pro-Piraeus party’s ballot will include, among others, KNE secretary Nikos Ambatielos.
Day25 nominated Janis Varoufakis’ wife, Danai Stratou, as the candidate for Piraeus in the 2019 elections, who came first in the combination vote, receiving 1,236 crosses. However, the party did not win a seat. Golden Dawn also failed to retain the seat it won in the 2015 elections, despite winning 3.18% in that region.
In the 1st Piraeus in the 2019 elections, he was a candidate with Sailing freedomthe party of Zoe Constantinopoulou, the actor Spyros Bibilas, who will again be a candidate in the upcoming elections.
