Kasselakis', the first openly gay leader of Syriza, faced an overwhelming ousting after revealing a significant divide within the party concerning ideology and leadership effectiveness.
In his defense, Kasselakis claimed his removal was against the wishes of over 136,000 members, criticizing the secret ballot that led to his no-confidence motion.
Insiders suggest while Kasselakis has been ousted, he has not dismissed the possibility of entering leadership elections again later this month.
The mass departure of some leftwing members, forming a splinter group, indicated that many had grown disenchanted with what they viewed as Kasselakis’s rightwing populism.
