No party is willing to form a government in Greece

| Last update :

In the elections held in Greece over the weekend, a "coalition" emerged from the ballot box. Since the Greek leaders appointed by President Katerina Sakelaropoulou to form a government did not agree to form a coalition government, a governance crisis is expected to emerge in the country. Voters may have to go to the polls again.

No party is willing to form a government in Greece

Greece went to the polls last Sunday for general elections.

The result did not allow any party to rule alone.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the leader of the victorious New Democracy Party, refused the task of forming a government given to him by President Katerina Sakelaropoulou.

The leader of the Radical Left Alliance (SYRIZA), Alexis Tsipras, who came second in the polls, followed Mitsotakis' lead and also refused to form a government.

PASOK-KINAL LEADER ALSO REFUSED

According to Anadolu, Nikos Andrulakis, the leader of the PASOK-KINAL alliance, which came third in the elections, also refused the task of forming a government.

Stating that the result of the elections did not allow for a coalition, Andrulakis commented, "I return the task of forming a government."

NEW POLLS TO BE HELD IF NO GOVERNMENT IS FORMED

If no coalition agreement is reached, voters will go to the polls a second time.

In the runoff, the first party will be given an extra 20 to 50 seats in the 300-seat parliament, depending on its share of the vote, provided it receives at least 25% of the vote.
