A former minister and a political novice slug it out on Sunday for the leadership of Greece's leftist Syriza party, the country's main opposition which is hoping for a comeback after a heavy defeat in this year's national election.
Syriza was catapulted to power at the height of Greece's debt crisis in 2015, but lost to the conservative New Democracy party in 2019 and inSunday's runoff vote pits newcomer Stefanos Kasselakis, 35, a former Goldman Sachs associate and shipping enterpreneur, against Effie Achtsioglou, 38, a lawyer and former labour minister.
Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Kasselakis, who is not a lawmaker, launched his leadership bid in August. "If I hadn't known capitalism from inside, if I hadn't seen the injustice of money, I may had not been a leftist," he said on Facebook this month.
