Greeks go to the polls on Sunday for the second time in little over a month to elect a new parliament, with former Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’
conservatives looking set to win and put him back in office.
Sunday’s election is being held in the shadow of a migrant shipwreck on June 14 in which hundreds of people are feared to have perished off southern Greece. One of the worst such disasters in years, it has shown the parties’ divisions over migration.
Mitsotakis’s New Democracy party won an election on May 21, 20 points clear of the leftist Syriza party that ruled Greece from 2015 to 2019.
Greeks vote in repeat election, likely to return conservatives to office
