Greeks call for new elections to create a government

Kyriakos-Mitsotakis-768x525
Athens, May 22 (Prensa Latina) Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, from the New Democracy (ND) party, on Monday proposed holding new elections to try to get an absolute majority in the Assembly of Greece (Parliament).

The head of Government said at a meeting with President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou that there was no way to create a new executive under the current parliament, and proposed June 25 as a tentative date for the elections.

New Democracy won with 40.8 percent of votes in last Sunday’s elections, called to renew all 300 seats in the unicameral parliament.

Pre-election and exit polls predicted that Mitsotakis would remain in power, but without the majority needed to rule alone.
