Movement for Change

A new Economic Barometer poll conducted by GPO shows SYRIZA trailing New Democracy by 9.2 percentage points.

The ruling party garnered 31.2 percent compared to 22 percent for the main opposition.
Centre-left KINAL has been steadily rising and has reached 14.4 percent.

We had become so accustomed to it that we considered it a structural element of our political system.

The two biggest parties would just take turns in exercising power, and their differences were so great that the prospect of a German-style Grand Coalition were practically nil.

A new Metron Analysis poll shows ND retains a, over 10 percentage point lead over SYRIZA, even as the Movement for Change (KINAL)-PASOK skyrocketed to 18.5 percent from 8.1 percent.

The results clearly show the emergence of a third political pole, KINAL-PASOK, according to the survey presented by MEGA television.

Despite the difficult - if not explosive - week between the first and second round of the centre-left Movement for Change (KINAL) party's leadership race, KINAL managed to secure mass participation in the election.

The Movement for Change (KINAL) party's members and friends have elected as its leader in a landslide MEP Nikos Androulakis, defeating the party's MP and former prime minister George Papandreou.

With 60.13 percent of the votes counted, Androulakis received 60.13 percent and Papandreou 31.58 percent of the vote.

Movement for Change (KINAL) MP Andreas Loverdos has announced that he will support MEP Nikos Androulakis in the second round of voting for the party leadership.

Loverdos in the first round on 5 December came one percentage point short of defeating former PM George Papandreou for second place.

The attention is now turned to the second round of the internal party elections for the election of the president of the Movement for Change (KINAL) party as the alliances, that may be created, will play a decisive role to the election of the leader.

The level of participation in the centre-left Movement for Change KINAL party's leadership elections has exceeded all expectations..

Shortly after 7pm, 257,529 citizens had voted, exceeding the level of participation in the 2017 party leadership race, when 211,191 people participated, electing the late leader Fofi Gennimata.

Who won the debate between the five candidates [the sixth, former PM George Papandreou, refused to participate] for the leadership of the KINAL (Movement for Change)?

Until recently, no one believed the cadres of the Movement for Change (KINAL) when they predicted that their party would have a double-digit result in the next general election.
