If the government’s concern over the first round of local elections was that “election fatigue” might have set in after the national elections in June, it appears that in the second round the ruling party fell victim to “ND fatigue”. While Nea Dimokratia dominated the first round of the Regional elections, with ND-supported candidates winning the Governorship of 6 Regions (7 if one includes Stavros Arnautakis in Crete), it was unable to improve greatly on this performance in the second round, despite having several candidates in a leading position.
