The leftist Syriza party has announced that it will hold an Extraordinary Conference from November 1-3, 2024. This event will culminate in internal elections to determine the party's new president, following the recent removal of Stefanos Kasselakis.
The first round of presidential elections is scheduled for November 24th, with a potential second round on December 1st. Before the conference, a pre-conference dialogue will be held in October, with party delegates elected on October 19-20th.
The decision to hold the Extraordinary Conference on these dates was approved by the Political Secretariat, with a significant majority of 18-3. Only three members dissented, advocating for an alternative schedule.
The next steps for Syriza, including whether to address constitutional changes, will be discussed at the upcoming Political Secretariat meeting.
This Extraordinary Conference marks a crucial moment for Syriza as it seeks to resolve its leadership questions and chart a clear path for its future.
