not re-election in 1986, Savoidakis supported Yvon Lamarre's unsuccessful bid to become the party's new mayoral candidate. The Gazette supported Savoidakis's bid for re-election in 1986, even though it gave a general endorsement to the MCM. He was defeated by MCM candidate Pierre Goyer amid a landslide MCM victory across the city. On one occasion, the Montreal Gazette described Savoidakis as "one of the few high-profile politicians in the city who is respected by almost everyone, no matter what their political orientation." Later political career Savoidakis was chosen as one of the Civic Party's vice-presidents in August 1988. He resigned from the party executive in March 1989, however, saying that, he was "tired of the perpetual infighting" that was affecting the party. He later joined the Montreal Municipal Party and ran for council under its banner in the 1990 election. In the 1994 election, he ran for the Montrealers Party. He was defeated both times. He died of prostate cancer in 1995.
