Angela Vithoulkas, who had been rising in expectations that she could pull an upset, lost her bid to be elected Mayor of Sydney, Australia’s largest city, to incumbent Clover Moore, who easily trounced a field that included three other challengers in the Sept. 8 elections. Vithoulkas said she still hopes to gain a seat on the City Council and give Greek-Australians a presence in the government.
There were a number of candidates of Greek descent participating in the elections, including Evangelos Tsirekas, who was brought back for another term as Mayor of Canada Bay City, while several others were elected councilors in various municipalities.
