Mitsotakis forms a government in Greece

$30/hr Starting at $25

The formation of the Greek government was entrusted to Prime Minister Mitsotakis.

Micocatis asserted that it was impossible to establish a coalition government and promised to resume his government-forming duties later that day.

The duty of building the government has been delegated to Kiryakos Mitsotakis, the winner of yesterday's general elections, the prime minister of Greece, and the leader of the New Democracy Party.

In accordance with the second paragraph of Article 37 of the Constitution, Sakelaropulu charged Prime Minister Mitsotakis with establishing a cabinet, which he accepted in his office.

The election results were apparent, according to Mitsotakis, who added in this remark, "I think that the intention to form a government from the current parliament is not really possible."

Mitsotakis said he believed it would be impossible to form a coalition government and added, "I intend to hand over the task of forming a government to you this evening so that, if my prediction that it would be impossible to form a government turns out to be true, we can go to the polls as quickly as possible, probably on June 25."

The ruling New Democracy Party won the election.

In the general elections held yesterday in Greece, the party of the current Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis received more than 40 percent of the vote (146 seats) and outperformed its closest rival. Aleksis Tsipras led the Radical Left Alliance (SYRIZA)

Having received 20.07 percent of the vote, the main opposition Radical Left Alliance (SYRIZA) came in second with 71 seats.

With 11.46 percent of the vote, the PASOK-KINAL coalition, which came in third in the election race, was able to get 41 seats.

The Greek Solution Party (GSP) won 16 seats with 4.45 percent of the vote, while the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) got 26 seats with 7.23 percent of the vote.

Thus, despite the five parties that entered the House, none of them could secure the 151 seats necessary to form a government on their own.

The new electoral method allows for the opportunity to cast a second ballot.

In accordance with the new election system that was put into place in Greece this year, coalition talks will be initiated if the results of the vote count prevent any party from taking office alone. Voting booths are put up for the voters a second time if a coalition agreement cannot be reached.

If the winning party wins at least 25% of the vote when the ballot box is used for the second time, it will receive an additional 20 seats in the 300-seat parliament. The number of extra seats rises by one for each 0.5 percent vote rate over 25 percent.

Unofficial data indicate that if New Democracy, which currently holds 146 members in the house, receives the same proportion of votes in the upcoming election, the number of seats would likely exceed 160, and it would likely take the reins of power alone.
