A leadership election was held on November 11, 2007[1] in the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), Greece's main centre-left party, after it was defeated in the parliamentary election earlier that year. The incumbent, George Papandreou, had stated right after the general elections that he would ask party members to renew their confidence in him,[2] while Evangelos Venizelos[3][4] and Kostas Skandalidis[5] also declared themselves candidates.
Election districts were open from 9:00AM until 8:00PM local time[6] In some districts the process finished at 9:30AM due to large number of people willing to vote.[7] Voting it was scheduled to take place in 1,405 polling stations throughout the country and 86 in other countries and after merging some small stations it took place in 1,376. The procedure was fully electronically and was supported by 3,310 computers handled by 3,900 personnel.[8] The registered voters are 347,991 members and 626,675 people in the status of the "friend of the party".[9] The total number of voters, members and friends of the Movement older than 16 years old, was more than 700,000.[10]
Initial results on the day of the election showed Papandreou winning a majority.[11] At 10:00PM Skandalidis called Papandreou to congratulate him on his victory and some minutes later Venizelos did the same.[12]
According to official final results, announced on November 14, George Papandreou was the victor with 55.91%, followed by Evangelos Venizelos with 38.18% and Kostas Skandalidis with 5.74%.[13] Exit polls had published similar results.[14]
