PASOK supports Elena Akrita's candidacy for the position of Vice President of Parliament
PASOK has officially announced that it will support Elena Akrita's candidacy for the position of Vice President of Parliament. This decision follows the proposal submitted by SYRIZA, requesting to fill the vacancy created in the Parliament's presiding board.
The position of Vice President became vacant following the resignation of Olga Gerovasili. The main opposition party proposed Ms. Akrita as her successor, seeking the smooth continuation of the party's representation in parliamentary bodies.
PASOK's stance is considered significant, as the election of vice presidents requires broader consensus among the parties. With its affirmative vote, PASOK facilitates the process, allowing the SYRIZA candidate to secure the necessary number of votes to assume her duties.
The process for electing the new Vice President is expected to be completed in the coming days in Parliament. This development serves as a formal but crucial step for the functioning of Parliament, ensuring the orderly representation of all parliamentary groups in the presiding board.
