Political Newcomer Kasselakis Elected to Lead Greece's Syriza Party

Former Goldman Sachs associate Stefanos Kasselakis elected new leader of Greece's leftist Syriza party.

Kasselakis, a political novice, defeated former labour minister Effie Achtsioglou in Syriza's leadership election.

Kasselakis replaces Alexis Tsipras, who resigned after Syriza's heavy defeat in June elections.

Syriza hoping Kasselakis can help party's revival after losing power in 2019 and faring poorly in recent elections.

Kasselakis' lack of political experience evident in perceived foreign policy blunder over ethnically-split Cyprus.
