Greek PM Mitsotakis confirms 2027 election, stresses government reliability

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis repeatedly told party members that Greece’s next parliamentary election will be held in the spring of 2027, ruling out any early poll. He framed the 2027 vote as a decisive showdown, saying “the Sunday of the ballot is one and unique” and describing the upcoming Deutero Elliniki Thiseos (DETH) as a “test of credibility” for the government.

New Democracy spokesperson Alexandra Sdoukou echoed the prime minister’s message, emphasizing the government’s track record since 2019: steady wage and pension increases, permanent tax cuts and the delivery of new hospitals, health centres and schools. She argued that the administration’s “reliability is its passport” and warned that the opposition’s promises from the past – such as those made by former premier Alexis Tsipras – are “not forgotten.”

Both officials rejected any discussion of coalition governments or “trial elections,” insisting on a single‑party, self‑reliant mandate. Their statements also touched on the National Development Programme 2026‑2030 and referenced the OPEKEPE case, with Sdoukou saying the party has taken responsibility for the matter.

Overall, the New Democracy leadership presented a narrative of continuity, economic stability and delivery of public projects while portraying the opposition as unreliable and urging voters to support a strong, uninterrupted government.
