Moreover, the following parties are not allowed to run for the elections because they applied for their participation out of time: Peripheral Urban Development, New Salvation Party of Christian Democracy and Greek Vision, the party Council of Citizens – Greek Co-governance with Democracy in Action, after their legal representative resigned.
Athanasios Daskalopoulos was elected an independent MP of Athens, without, however, being regarded as member of the Tyranni-fighters party, providing that he had not founded such a party.
