Mitsotakis is likely to force a rerun

New Democracy, it seems, will not be able to accumulate enough parliamentary seats to govern on its own. That’s why it is already announcing new elections on 2 July, when, under the new old rules, the leading party would get additional seats The winner of yesterday’s Greek parliamentary elections is the conservative New Democracy of the incumbent Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which won more than 40% of the vote. The left-wing Syriza followed with 20%. In third place are the socialists Pasok-Movement for Change, which polled around 12% of the vote. As expected, the Communist Party of Greece, the radical-patriotic Greek Salvation also entered Parliament. The left-wing Free Path, the patriotic Victory Party and Varoufakis’s Mera25 will not be able to break through to parliament with at least three per cent of the vote. But the winners of the elections still did not get enough votes to govern on their own. Last night’s results would have given them 146 votes, but to govern on their own they would have needed at least 151 seats in the 300-seat Parliament. Regardless, the loser of these elections is Syriza. <a href="https://lihtenvalner.medium.com/micotakis-is-likely-to-force-a-rerun-182aa8e5fa92">Click Here</a>
