Mitsotakis Sends Clear Message to ND Dolphins: Elections in 2027 with the Same Leader

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis delivered a firm message during his speech to the New Democracy parliamentary group, quelling rumors of early elections and mid-term changes. Addressing party insiders, he emphasized that they will proceed together to the 2027 elections under his leadership. This stance aims to unify the party amidst internal tensions. Recent polling data from Marc for ANT1 indicates a decline in support for ND, losing 2.6 percentage points over 50 days, which has caused anxiety among MPs about their re-election prospects. Meanwhile, Apostolos Vesyropoulos was elected as the new general secretary of the Central Committee of ND without opposition, despite some dissatisfaction within the ranks. The government is also focusing on regaining public trust following the Tempi fire tragedy by countering allegations of cover-ups and propaganda. Amidst these developments, the PASOK party continues to experience declining popularity but remains a significant political entity, with potential new alliances being discussed.
