Greek Conservative Party Wins Landslide Victory
Mitsotakis's ND Party Secures 408 Percent Increase
Mitsotakis Reaches Majority Control of Parliament
With a staggering 408 percent increase in its vote share, the conservative New Democracy (ND) party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has secured a resounding victory in Greece's parliamentary elections.
Approximately 10 million eligible voters cast their ballots on Sunday, with exit polls and late-night projections indicating that ND has reached a majority control of parliament. This landslide victory marks a significant increase from the party's previous electoral performance, where it had obtained only a narrow majority.
The election campaign was marked by intense debates over the economy, healthcare, and immigration. Mitsotakis campaigned on promises of economic growth, job creation, and cracking down on illegal immigration, resonating with voters despite rising inflation and other challenges.
The results of this election will have significant implications for Greece's political landscape and policy direction. ND's increased control of parliament will likely translate into a stronger mandate for Mitsotakis's agenda, potentially leading to sweeping changes in the areas of governance, economy, and social policy.
