Greece Plans to Hold General Elections in May, Premier Says

Greece’s general elections will take place in May, a few weeks before Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s term in office officially ends in early July.

“I can tell you for sure that the elections will be held in May,” Mitsotakis said late Tuesday in an interview with Alpha TV, according to a transcript sent by his office. Holding the vote in July wouldn’t work because it’s very likely that a second ballot may be needed, he said.
