The nomination of Nikitas Kaklamanis, who was elected as the new Speaker of the Parliament, won a broad majority of the plenary session of the Parliament with 247 deputies.

The New Democracy, PASOK, SYRIZA, Hellenic Solution, Spartans and 19 of the 23 independent deputies voted in favour of Nikitas Kaklamanis’ candidacy for the highest parliamentary office.

It should be reminded that Nikitas Kaklamanis was nominated for the highest parliamentary office by the President of New Democracy, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, following the resignation of Konstantinos Tasoulas, who will be a candidate for President of the Republic.

Nikitas Kaklamanis, immediately after the announcement of the result, took the floor and stated, among other things, that his election to the highest parliamentary office marks the journey toward the conclusion of his personal political marathon, which began in 1990 when he was first elected as a Member of Parliament.
