Next Greek parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Greece by 25 July 2027. All 300 seats in the Hellenic Parliament will be contested.
In the June 2023 Greek parliamentary election, Kyriakos Mitsotakis was elected to the office of Prime Minister once again, replacing caretaker Prime Minister Ioannis Sarmas. New Democracy was elected to an absolute majority in Parliament, of 158 MPs. Second, and Official Opposition was Syriza, that had its seats nearly halved from the 2019 elections, from 86 down to 47 in June 2023. Minor parties Spartans, Victory, and Course of Freedom entered parliament for the first time, while previously elected parties (PASOK – KINAL, KKE, Greek Solution) increased their seats and voting percentages, in relation to the 2019 elections.
On election night, Alexis Tsipras announced that he would propose leadership elections within Syriza, later announcing his full resignation and withdrawal from any potential leadership race 4 days later. Syriza's leadership race went into a second round between Effie Achtsioglou and party outsider Stefanos Kasselakis. Kasselakis went on to defeat Achtsioglou on a 12-point margin and was elected President of Syriza.
With his election, and his rhetoric of moving Syriza towards the political center, Kasselakis caused internal party turmoil, leading to the first major split from Syriza since the last one in 2015, and the creation of New Left, just two months into his leadership.
In February 2024, Syriza's 4th Congress was held, with Kasselakis announcing party-wide elections after internal pressure, to then back down by the end of the Congress after an agreement brokered by party officials, as the European Parliament elections were upcoming.
After Syriza's mediocre performance at the European Parliament elections, and, rapid and unpopular internal changes to the party, Kasselakis was ousted from the Presidency by a vote of no-confidence in the Central Committee on 7 September and fresh elections were called. He was later barred from running by the Central Committee, and left the party during its’ extraordinary Congress, later founding his own movement, Movement for Democracy. Sokratis Famellos was ultimately elected as President on 24 November.
In 8 October 2023, the first round of local (municipal and regional) elections was held, followed by the second round a week later, on 15 October. New Democracy lost 5 out of the 12 regions it had been elected in 2019, as well as the two largest municipalities, Athens and Thessaloniki. In Athens, ecologist PASOK - backed Haris Doukas was elected mayor on the second round, defeating incumbent New Democracy-backed Kostas Bakoyiannis, after gaining the backing of Kostas Zachariadis, the third-placed candidate backed by Syriza. In Thessaloniki, PASOK - backed Stelios Angeloudis defeated New Democracy-backed Konstantinos Zervas on a landslide of 34 points.
In June 2024, European Parliament elections took place. New Democracy topped the poll, but at a much lower percentage than the one a year ago at the parliamentary elections, with 28% of the votes and electing 7 MEPs. Although opinion polls just two months prior showed PASOK – KINAL coming in second place, Syriza recovered into the second spot, but with 2 fewer MEPs, in total 4, while PASOK – KINAL remained in third place, but elected one more MEP, in total 3. Greek Solution and KKE came extremely close in percentages, but ultimately Greek Solution reached the fourth spot, and KKE the fifth, with both electing 2 MEPs with 9% of the vote. Niki and Course of Freedom each elected an MEP, and, Voice of Reason crossed the 3% threshold for the first time, electing its leader, Afroditi Latinopoulou as an MEP.
