Mitsotakis was sworn in as prime minister on Monday after easily winning a second term.
After 99.7% of the votes were counted, Mitsotakis' New Democracy party had 40.55% of the vote - more than twice the left-wing opposition party Syriza's 17.84%. In a half-century, it was the largest margin of victory in the Greek election.
A conservative, Mitsotakis was accredited for reducing Greece’s debt-to-GDP ratio to 166 percent in 2023, down from 212 percent in 2020. Mitsotakis’ agenda for his second term is to further decrease taxation, advance affordable health care, boost wages, and modernize the country’s infrastructure.
