Syriza parliamentary group leader Nikos Pappas has denied rumors that he will be a candidate in the upcoming elections for the party's presidency.

During a press conference at the 88th Thessaloniki International Fair on Sunday, Mr. Pappas responded to questions about his potential candidacy, saying, “There is no such discussion, we are channeling all our efforts into fulfilling the duties assigned

to us.”

Mr. Pappas emphasized the need for political change in his remarks, stating, “We address the citizens of Greece and state clearly that the country needs a major progressive change.”

In Syriza’s internal elections in 2023, Mr. Pappas placed fourth, securing 8.3% of the vote.

The leadership election for Syriza is scheduled for November 24, with a potential runoff on December 1.

The election follows the recent ousting of leader Stefanos Kasselakis, who lost a no-confidence vote during a central committee meeting last week.
