What to look out for ahead of Greece’s upcoming elections

On Sunday Greeks will head to the polls for a second time in just over a month. With the election just days away, New Democracy is seeking the crucial 40% threshold that would secure a safe outright majority to form a single-party government.

Expert Panos Koliastasis, an adjunct assistant professor of Politics at the University of Peloponnese and the author of the book “Permanent campaigning in Greece in times of crisis: the Samaras, Tsipras and Mitsotakis premierships,” joins Thanos Davelis to break down what we should be looking out for ahead of Greece’s upcoming elections.
