Two deputy mayors from the Marathon township, the extended municipality in eastern Attica prefecture that includes the wildfire-ravaged Mati settlement, are the only two office-holders so far that have resigned in the wake of Monday's deadly blaze.
The death toll from the wildfire reached 88 on Saturday, including two nine-year-old girls, twins, that have been the focus of a nationwide search since Monday.
The bodies of the twins were discovered late on Friday.
