The first round of Greece's presidential election is set for January 25, with Konstantinos Tasoulas of the conservative New Democracy party as the frontrunner. However, he is expected to require four rounds to secure the necessary votes due to insufficient bipartisan appeal. While past elections saw consensus candidates, Tasoulas faces opposition from multiple candidates and may struggle to achieve the 180 votes needed in early rounds. He risks becoming the first president without broader party approval, supported mainly by members of the far-right Spartans party.
Konstantinos Tasoulas is expected to require four election rounds to secure enough votes from lawmakers to win Greece's presidential election, lacking bipartisan support.
Unlike Katerina Sakellaropoulou, who received 261 votes in the 2020 election, Tasoulas may struggle to garner even the 180 votes required in earlier rounds.
