Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has nominated Parliament Speaker Constantine Tassoulas for the presidency, with a parliamentary vote set for 25 January. Tassoulas, 66, a veteran lawmaker and former culture minister, was praised for his political experience and unifying leadership.
New Democracy holds 156 seats in the 300-member parliament but faces internal divisions, raising questions about securing the necessary 151 votes. Opposition parties, including Syriza, are unlikely to support Tassoulas, instead proposing former economy minister Louka Katseli for the role.
President Katerina Sakellaropoulou, whose term ends in March, expressed gratitude for her service, wishing her successor success. Analysts view the nomination as a strategic move to consolidate New Democracy’s majority amid declining public support due to economic challenges.
