Rumours are intensifying about efforts to recruit prominent independent candidate Stefanos Konstantinidis — known for his association with Katerina Kainourgiou — to run on PASOK’s ballot. The focus is on the party’s challenging Piraeus B constituency, where Konstantinidis is now reportedly being considered as a parliamentary candidate.
Nina Kasimati’s possible return
Meanwhile, discussions around the same constituency also include speculation about Nina Kasimati’s potential return to PASOK. Her name is increasingly mentioned alongside Konstantinidis’s in internal party conversations.
Thodora Tzakri’s candidacy remains on hold
In contrast, Thodora Tzakri’s possible comeback to PASOK — and her inclusion on the party’s list in Pella — appears stalled for now. According to the party’s statutes, her 23-year tenure in parliament currently disqualifies her from appearing on PASOK’s candidate lists. Beyond formal rules, there’s also broader concern within the party: many members remain wary of any move perceived as provocative, fearing it could unleash internal tensions — what some describe metaphorically as opening ‘Aeolus’s bag of winds’.
