Summary/Abstract: The pro-European, centre-right New Democracy party led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has led Greece since 2019, decisively won the early parliamentary elections on 21 May. However, the party will not form new cabinet but will seek new early elections, which will be held according to a new electoral law. New Democracy hopes that the result will enable it to govern on its own. The temporary political crisis and rule by a technical government will be short-lived and will not change Greek foreign policy.
