New Democracy’s candidates seem to be winning the battle of local elections, since they are leading in most regions. The sole exception is that of Attica, which evolves into the ultimate derby, according to the flow of the first primary results.

The electoral map, and the way it stood on the first round, as well as the initial results of the second round so far, ND seems to have asserted its dominance in eight to nine regions.

However, the political clash conducted between coalition government candidates(ND and PASOK)   in some regions, are also of particular interest.

According to preliminary estimates, ND and PASOK’s Petros Tatoulis seems to be winning against SYRIZA’s Odysseas Voudouris in the Peloponnese region.

In the Region of Thessaly, Mr. Kostas Agorastos (ND) is leading over his center-left opponent, Nikos Tsilimigkas who, however, appears to be highly resistant to the former’s pressures. Also, the race of Central Greece is led by Mr. Kostas Bakoyannis.

The Ionian Islands region seems to be the only one being won by SYRIZA, with T. Galitsatos leading over Mr. Spyrou, who is supported by the New Democracy party.

The Region of Western Greece between A. Katsifaras and A. Katsaniotis is also turning into a close match.

Independent candidate A. Tzitzikostas seems to be leading against ND’s Y. Ioannidis in Central Macedonia.

The political races in Western Macedonia are also indecisive, since ND’s G. Dakis and Independent T. Karipidis are very close, whereas in the region of Easter Macedonia and Thrace the clash between ND’s G. Pavlidis and PASOK’s A. Giannakidis is also balanced on the edge of a knife.

Crete seems to have PASOK’s S. Arnaoutakis, leading over ND’s S. Tsokas.
