Conservative party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis has embarked on his second term as Greece's prime minister, as the parliament observes a surge in far-right party seats
Kyriakos Mitsotakis has embarked on his second term as Greece's prime minister with a vow to accelerate institutional and economic reforms, after voters handed him a huge election victory for the second time in five weeks.
To the dismay of centrists, the strong swing to the right was also accompanied by the return of the far right into parliament. Mitsotakis's trusted troubleshooter George Gerapetritis is being tipped as foreign minister in the new government. He had also championed a tough anti-immigration line, drawing criticisms from the UN, the EU and other watchdogs, but appealing to the conservative base in an electoral campaign in which the recent deadly sinking of an overcrowded trawler failed to garner a mention.

Exit polls in Greek election project landslide win for conservative New Democracy partyThe exit poll from Greece’s second election in five weeks indicates the conservative New Democracy party has won by a landslide, gaining enough parliamentary seats to form a government for a second four-year term. The poll projects Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ party gaining around 40-44% of the vote, with his main rival, the left-wing Syriza party suffering a crushing defeat with just 16-19% projected support. Sunday's vote came just over a week after a migrant ship capsized and sank off the western coast of Greece, leaving hundreds of people dead and missing and calling into question the actions of Greek authorities and the country’s strict migration policy.
