Almost half of the voters in the first round of the centre-left Movement for Change party’s leadership race were over 61-years-old. Two had passed the age 100-years-old.
The data on voting by age bracket indicate that older voters are the party’s strong card.
The second round of voting will be held on Sunday, 12 December.
The largest participation was of voters born between1 951-1960. These are people who were in their 20s and 30s in the era when Andreas Papandreou’s Allagi (Change) became a mantra and are now 61-70 years old. They account for 26 percent (69,796 votes) of those who voted.
Voters between the ages of 16 to 40 accounted for 18.7 percent of the electorate, which means the party is attractive to a segment younger voters as well.
