Greece’s ruling party debates calling early election this fall
Greece's ruling New Democracy party is considering an early election in fall 2025 amid declining support due to inflation, EU fund fraud, and a rail disaster. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis insists on holding elections in 2027, but internal discussions suggest a possible September or October vote to prevent opposition unity. Opposition parties like Elas and Pasok are pushing for early elections, with polls showing New Democracy leading but lacking a majority.
