Greece’s 2024 Parliamentary Rise: ND Wins Largest Share but No Solo Government

Eight parties entered Greece’s parliament after the June 25 elections, according to the Interior Ministry, signaling a broader, more fragmented political landscape. In a result that reshapes the country’s governing dynamics, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his conservative New Democracy party secured 40.56 percent of the vote, claiming 158 seats in the 300-seat chamber. This share places ND firmly in a position of strength, yet not enough to govern alone, which has important implications for how a governing program will be assembled in the coming months. The outcome was covered by Financial Times in its reporting on the vote and its immediate political fallout. [Citation: Greek Interior Ministry; Financial Times]
