History
Due to the record low election results in the January 2015 elections and the electoral and parliamentary shrinking of PASOK, the party's internal organs began preparing for a Congress.
The 10th Congress of PASOK began on June 5 and lasted three days. The Congress decided on the shifting of PASOK to a party of the broader Centre-Left and the election of a new president by all party members on June 14. Finally, the new members of the Central Political Committee were elected.
Subsequent events
On August 31, 2015, Fofi Gennimata and the president of the Democratic Left Thanasis Theocharopoulos, announced an electoral coalition between the two parties in the following elections, under the name Democratic Alignment.Δημοκρατική Συμπαράταξη, το κοινό ψηφοδέλτιο ΠΑΣΟΚ- ΔΗΜΑΡ Finally, the coalition of parties increased its percentages compared to the January election, receiving 6.28% and 17 seats, against 4.68% (13 seats) and 0.48% (no seats) for PASOK and DIMAR, respectively.
