Kostas Tasoulas

His national political career started in the 2000 national elections, when he ran for the Ioannina constituency with the support of the New Democracy party.

The announcement quickly sparked a wave of political reactions, ranging from support within the ruling New Democracy party to strong criticism from opposition parties.

The PM announced Kostas Tasoulas as his pick for the next President, saying that the challenging international environment calls for a president with extensive public service experience.

PM Mitsotakis proposes Kostas Tasoulas, current Parliament President, as Greece’s next President.

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?
