New Democracy prepares for 2027 elections

Immediately after the Cabinet meeting, Mitsotakis will travel to Piraeus for the first meeting of New Democracy’s Executive Secretariat under the composition established following the party’s recent congress.

The members include Mitsotakis, Hatzidakis, Adonis Georgiadis, Konstantinos Kyranakis, Maximos Charakopoulos, Ioannis Smyrlis, Orfeas Georgiou, Maria-Alexandra Kefala, Dimitrios Kairidis, Athanasios Papanathasis, Stavros Papasotiriou, Asimina Skondra, Panagiotis Palpanas, Christina Patrikakou, Georgios Tsakoumis and Konstantinos Tsiagliotis.

The prime minister is expected to issue instructions and place the party on election alert ahead of the 2027 national elections.

Sources at the party’s headquarters in Piraeus say at least six months remain before the elections are called. However, organisational preparations have already begun, with Mitsotakis and party teams stepping up visits across Greece.

Konstantinos Kyranakis, Ioannis Smyrlis, Stelios Kontadakis and Thanasis Nezis coordinate the party teams’ nationwide activities.

The same sources say New Democracy’s secretary will present a review of visits carried out since the summer in Western Greece, the Peloponnese, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Central and Western Macedonia, Epirus, the Dodecanese and the Ionian Islands.

He will also outline plans for future visits, initiatives to involve party members in drafting the government programme, and efforts to renew the party organisation and prepare its candidate lists.
