President of Greece

Following the doxology, Archbishop Ieronymos wished the newly sworn-in president, “Long life.”

Road closures around the Greek Parliament in Athens will be in effect on Thursday morning, and several metro stations will be closed, due to the swearing-in ceremony of the new President of Greece.

The ceremony will commence at 11:00am at the Greek parliament, followed by a visit to the tomb of the unknown soldier.

Today's meeting will be the last between Mitsotakis and the outgoing President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

A self-styled anarchist-activist group called “Rouvikonas” carried out a motorcycle protest in front of the residence of the newly-elected President of Greece, Konstantinos Tasoulas in the upscale district of Kifisia on Wednesday night. The group posted a long article explaining its action online effectively calling the presidential office ineffectual as the “president could not even […]

On July 18, 2019, Tasoulas was elected President of the Hellenic Parliament, securing a historic 283 votes, the highest ever recorded for such an election.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis promptly congratulated the New Democracy-nominated president-elect.

Konstantinos Tasoulas was elected President of the Greek Republic with 160 votes.

In contrast to outgoing President Sakellaropoulou, elected with 261 votes in 2020, Tasoulas is set to win with just 160, mostly along party lines.

Konstantinos Tasoulas fails to secure the presidency in the third vote, with a final decisive round set for February 12 amid rising political friction.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with Katerina Sakellaropoulou on Monday at the Presidential Palace, and commented on her legacy as the first woman President of the Republic in what is likely their final official meeting.

At 11:30 on Monday Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet with President Katerina Sakellaropoulou at the Presidential Palace.

His national political career started in the 2000 national elections, when he ran for the Ioannina constituency with the support of the New Democracy party.

The announcement quickly sparked a wave of political reactions, ranging from support within the ruling New Democracy party to strong criticism from opposition parties.

PM Mitsotakis proposes Kostas Tasoulas, current Parliament President, as Greece’s next President.

Prime Minister Mitsotakis is expected to make a televised address on Wednesday or Thursday, offering more information over his pick for the next President of Greece.

With President Sakellaropoulou unlikely to secure a second presidential term, Prime Minister Mitsotakis must navigate a political tightrope in nominating her successor. Will he rally New Democracy behind Tasoulas or seek broader support with Venizelos?
