SYRIZA ”transfers” Theodora Tzakri and Rahil Makri In the areas of Pella and Kozani achieve top ranking in votes – Olga Kefalogianni and Vasilis Kikilias are ahead in the first electoral district of Athens in support of ND – Kostas Zouraris with ANEL makes it in Parliament, while Terence Quick didn’t make it

Dozens of candidates fought tooth and nail against one another in several constituencies. The prize is a seat in the new Parliament.

According to the latest reports in the morning, in the lead for SYRIZA in Athens’ first election district is Zoe Konstantopoulou, while running first for ND is Olga Kefalogianni, followed by Vasilis Kikilias, Dora Bakoyanni, Nikitas Kaklamanis and Fotini Pipili.

In Athens’ second election district, the top vote-getters for ND are Kyriakos Mitsotakis, followed by Nikos Dendias and Adonis Georgiadis.

Angela Gerekou failed on the island of Corfu after switching to ND, aStefanos Gikas has a commanding lead amongst ND voters.

Conversely, another recent ND recruit, former Democratic Left MP Vasilis Economou was assured of a return to Parliament, given his high placement on ND’s state deputies list (candidates are elected based on a party’s general vote, and not individual votes in districts).

Additionally, outspoken MP Rachel Makri won her re-election hands down as a SYRIZA candidate in the prefecture of Kozani, NW Greece, after her eventful course as a deputy for the Independent Greeks and then as simply an independent.

The same goes for Theodora Tzakri, a former PASOK cadre, in Pella prefecture of north-central Greece, who easily won re-election.

In western Greece’s Aetoloakarnania prefecture, SYRIZA gets two seats (tbe same as 2012), ND 2 and Golden Dawn, PASOK and KKE one each.

From early hours Monday Giorgos Varemenos had “locked up” a seat for SYRIZA, while the battle for second was between Dimitris Duros and Maria Triandafullou.

In Arta, SYRIZA gets two seats, one Alexis Tsipras and oneOlga Gerovasili. However, if the leader of SYRIZA chooses the A’ Athens, then Vasilis Tsirkas will take the seat instead. Giorgos Stylios is in the lead for ND.

In Achaia SYRIZA gets three seats, the first to Vasilis Hatzilabrou, the second to Maria Kanellopoulou and the third one will either go to Athanasia Anagnostopoulo or  Evangelos Katsakoulis.
