At the 2014 local elections, he ran for the post of the mayor of Athens. In his campaign he advocated for an open city with less police but more quality of life. Finishing second, he reached the second round of the election, but then lost to incumbent Giorgos Kaminis.

On his third attempt, Sakellaridis, placed on second position in the Athens A constituency, won a seat in the January 2015 legislative elections. He had before contested the consecutive May and June elections from unpromising positions in the Athens B constituency.

Following the government takeover by Syriza, he was appointed a Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and Government Spokesperson. In a government reshuffle on 17 July 2015, he switched his post with Olga Gerovasili who became government speaker, leaving him the post of a parliamentary spokesperson. Reelected in the subsequent September 2015 snap election, Sakellaridis however wasn't reappointed to Tsipras' second cabinet.

On 19 November 2015, Sakellaridis, who is a member of Syriza's moderately leftist "53+" faction, resigned from his parliamentary seat because he could no longer support the bailout and therefore couldn't "contribute to the implementation of government policies." Sakellaridis thereby announced his complete withdrawal from the main political scene.
