Snap parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 21 May 2023.[1][2][3] All 300 seats in the Hellenic Parliament were contested. They were the first elections since 1990 not to be held under a bonus seats system, due to amendments to the electoral law made in 2016. Instead, a purely proportional system was used.[4]
The New Democracy of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis achieved an unexpected victory defying the opinion polls,[5] while Mitsotakis' political opponents alleged fraud.[6][7] As the election did not result in any party gaining a majority, and no coalition government was formed by any of the parties eligible to do so, Mitsotakis called for another snap election in June.[8][9][10] On 24 May 2023, as required by Greece's constitution, President Katerina Sakellaropoulou appointed Ioannis Sarmas to be the caretaker prime minister for the interim.[11]
