Kyriakos Mitsotakis, leader of Greece’s center right New Democracy party, has won a second four-year term as prime minister in a resounding electoral victory, preliminary results show
Mitsotakis, 55, is now set to return to the prime minister’s office in a stronger position. “We have high targets that will transform Greece,” Mitsotakis said in his victory speech on Sunday. “Today we will celebrate our victory, tomorrow we will roll up our sleeves.” With nearly 96% of the vote counted, New Democracy has garnered over 40% of the vote, winning at least 158 seats in the 300-seat parliament.
Sunday’s elections were dominated by financial stability and cost-of-living issues, and New Democracy leaned heavily on its economic record. Mitsotakis, at Greece’s helm during the Covid-19 pandemic and Europe’s energy crisis, had positioned himself as a safe pair of hands to boost growth in difficult global circumstances.
