Dimitris Kapsanis

Dimitris Kapsanis was four times the mayor of Palaio Faliro, one of the municipalities in the greater Athens area, Greece.[1]

He first assumed the mayoralty on 6 April 1975 and was re-elected in 1978 and 1982, then made a comeback with a fourth term starting in January 1999.[1]

By profession a lawyer,[2] he was elected mayor of Palaio Faliro in the first municipal elections after the fall of the Greek Junta, gaining 50.4% of the vote, succeeding D. Bavarezos.[3] After three terms he was succeeded by Georgios Chrysoveridis in 1987.[1]

When Chrysoveridis retired, he again stood for mayor in the 1998 election, winning in the second round with 52.3% of the vote, at the head of the Independent Alliance "Faliro".[4] In the municipal elections of 2002 he was knocked out in the first round, coming third with 21.7%, while Dionysis Hatzidakis went on to be elected in the second round with 53.6%, at the head of the alliance named “New Force for Faliro”.[5]

He continued for some years as a member of the Town Council of Palaio Faliro, until 2010.[6]
