Mitsotakis nominates Tasoulas as next President of Greece

·

Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has nominated Konstantinos Tasoulas, the Speaker of Parliament, as the next President of Greece.

Praising his broad parliamentary support and unifying leadership, Mitsotakis highlighted Tasoulas’ repeated election as Speaker with historic majorities.

The nomination breaks tradition by selecting a figure from the governing majority, which Mitsotakis justified as prioritising public trust over political alignment.

He also expressed gratitude to outgoing President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and proposed a constitutional reform to limit the presidency to a single six-year term.

Parliament will vote on the nomination within ten days, while Tasoulas’ successor and parliamentary seat adjustments are under consideration.
