Expectations for SYRIZA’s recent leadership contest were high. The early favourite among the party's radical-left to take the helm of the current Greek parliamentary opposition, a party that holds 47 out of the 300 seats in the Hellenic Parliament, was Effie Achtsioglou, a 38-year-old Member of Parliament and former minister.
