Greek Vice President Kostis Hatzidakis has outlined several government priorities as the New Democracy party prepares for upcoming elections. In late October, Hatzidakis announced a permanent financial reinforcement for pensioners scheduled for late November, noting that the party’s election program will include specific plans for demographics, long-term care, and pensions. By early November, Hatzidakis shifted focus to ministerial accountability and agricultural administration. He announced that ministers would present key priorities to be addressed before the next election to ensure productivity during the final stage of the current term. Additionally, he reported a significant increase in agricultural subsidy applications, noting a rise from approximately 1,000 to 16,500 daily applications, and stated that the government aims to complete advance payments by November 30. On November 2, 2026, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis presided over a Cabinet meeting where ministers were expected to present strategic priorities for the remainder of the legislative term. These include urban transport progress, artificial intelligence legislation in the labor market, the transformation of the Judicial Police into a Security Body, and the harmonization of anti-doping laws. Other objectives include fuel support and preparations for Greece's Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2027. On the same day, Mitsotakis chaired the first meeting of the New Democracy Executive Secretariat to prepare for the 2027 elections. The meeting focused on organizational updates, improving the functionality of the Political Committee, and mobilizing officials through government scale tours across Greece. New Democracy Secretary Konstantinos Kyranakis reported on activities from the previous six months and outlined future plans to restructure party organs, prepare candidate lists, organs and involve the party base in developing the government program. On November 5, 2026, following a decision by Mitsotakis, New Democracy announced 11 new parliamentary candidates for the 2027 national elections. These candidates, representing various electoral districts including Attica, Thessaloniki, and Achaia, include professionals from fields such as law, medicine, geology, and public administration.
