Today's meeting will be the last between Mitsotakis and the outgoing President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
In contrast to outgoing President Sakellaropoulou, elected with 261 votes in 2020, Tasoulas is set to win with just 160, mostly along party lines.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with Katerina Sakellaropoulou on Monday at the Presidential Palace, and commented on her legacy as the first woman President of the Republic in what is likely their final official meeting.
At 11:30 on Monday Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet with President Katerina Sakellaropoulou at the Presidential Palace.
PM Mitsotakis proposes Kostas Tasoulas, current Parliament President, as Greece’s next President.
Prime Minister Mitsotakis is expected to make a televised address on Wednesday or Thursday, offering more information over his pick for the next President of Greece.
With President Sakellaropoulou unlikely to secure a second presidential term, Prime Minister Mitsotakis must navigate a political tightrope in nominating her successor. Will he rally New Democracy behind Tasoulas or seek broader support with Venizelos?
