Giorgos Kaminis won the municipality of Athens, over Gabriel Sakellaridis.

Shortly before 11pm, tonight, the SYRIZA candidate congratulated Mr. Kaminis on his victory, who appears to have gathered 51.64% of the votes, with 20% of the voting districts counted.

Giorgos Kaminis thanked the citizens of Athens for their trust after his re-election as the Mayor of Athens.

“Today’s result makes me even more optimistic about the future of Athens,” said Mr. Kaminis and went on to add that the men and women of Athens voted having the best interest of their city in mind.

“I want to thank all the citizens of the capital because they put the city’s best interest above polarization and partisanship,” added Mr. Kaminis.

“They defended a European city that controls its own future” continued Mr. Kaminis and expressed his joy for having met a young person – his opponent- who welcomed him to the city council.

“I am confident that our cooperation with Mr Sakellaridis and the democratically elected opposition will be very good”, concluded Mr. Kaminis.
