2023 Athens Federation presidential election

The 2023 Athens federation presidential election will be held in July-August 2023. 
== Background ==
Mayor of Athens Alexis Zurgenstine was elected president of the Athens Federation in 2021 with 55.7% of the vote. Initially popular, Zurgenstine's approval gradually declined during his presidency. After the Greens-AFU, ASP, NDM and Foamix parties created a new coalition after the 2023 parliament elections, the new government impeached Zurgenstine. The impeachment passed 212-65-2 in the People's Congress and 91-29-1 in the Senate, ending his presidency. 
However, Zurgenstine has announced his intentions to run for the presidency again, despite polling at less than 1% in some polls.
