[Intime News]
Athenians “believed the impossible” and made his win over incumbent mayor Kostas Bakoyannis come true against all odds, newly elected mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, said on Sunday.
Following results that confirmed he won by a wide margin – 55.96% over Bakoyannis’ 44.04% with all votes counted nationally – Doukas spoke of “a beautiful voyage that now begins.”
“We have a great opportunity to turn what we spoke about into action. We shall try very hard to succeed in that,” and thanked among others PASOK-KINAL leader Nikos Androulakis and the SYRIZA-supported candidate Kostas Zachariadis, who did not make it into runoffs, for supporting him.
