Sophia Christodoulou Makri Becomes President of EDEK
September 5, 2026
Sophia Christodoulou Makri achieved a sweeping victory in the internal elections of EDEK, becoming the first female president of the party at just 27 years old. The electoral process faced tensions and protests, but she garnered support from youth and dissatisfied members. The new president will face challenges, particularly regarding the party's finances after losing its parliamentary presence. The first major test will be the constitutional congress in October, which will discuss changes to the electoral system. The aim is to facilitate the participation of former members who have left.
