Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is set to meet with President Katerina Sakellaropoulou on Wednesday at the Presidential Palace in Athens for their regular monthly briefing. During this meeting, the prime minister will provide updates to the largely ceremonial president.
This particular meeting holds special significance, as Mitsotakis is expected to announce his proposal for the next president of the republic in the coming days.
Recent reports indicate that the prime minister is likely to nominate a political figure who can gain the support of the socialist PASOK party, the main opposition group, while also maintaining internal cohesion within his own conservative New Democracy party.
Greece’s next president will take office next spring. The president is elected for a five-year term by the Hellenic Parliament during a special session held at least one month before the current president’s term expires.
