The Greek Parliament will hold its second roll-call vote for the presidency on Friday, January 31, requiring candidates to secure a two-thirds majority, or 200 votes, for election.
In the first round on January 25, Constantinos Tasoulas, nominated by New Democracy, led with 160 votes, followed by Louka Katseli from SYRIZA with 40, Tasos Giannitsis from PASOK with 34, and a candidate from the ‘Niki’ party with 14 votes.
If no candidate achieves the necessary majority, a third round will be held with a minimum requirement of 180 votes.
Further rounds with progressively lower thresholds (151 votes in the fourth and a relative majority in the fifth) are planned if needed.
