“Every day counts.” This is the approach that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is now emphasizing to party officials, as New Democracy enters a long political cycle that will culminate in the national elections of spring 2027.

The Prime Minister’s tours throughout the country, the activation of party organizations, and the parallel preparation of a new government program form the core of the strategy through which the governing party hopes to secure a third consecutive electoral victory.

Mitsotakis’ visit to Rhodes is an integral part of this plan, with the government seeking to send a clear political message of continuity and mobilization.

Within this framework, a visit to Western Attica is also scheduled for next Tuesday, when the contract for the triple interchange at Skaramangas is expected to be signed—an infrastructure project with significant developmental impact for the area.

The Strategy

The Prime Minister’s tours are not merely symbolic. They are part of a broader strategy that links political presence with the promotion of government projects and achievements.

Officials at the Prime Minister’s Office believe that after ND’s 16th Congress and the establishment of the new Political Committee, the final path toward the elections has already begun, with spring 2027 as the horizon and maintaining political initiative as the primary objective.

At the same time, the party is seeking to fully reactivate its organizational machinery through events, tours by party officials, and political initiatives across the country.

ND’s central strategy for the coming period rests on two pillars.

The first concerns highlighting the government’s work. Party headquarters believe that demonstrating the results of recent government interventions and emphasizing consistency between promises and actions constitute a major political advantage ahead of the next election.

To this end, special printed materials have already been prepared for party officials to use in meetings with citizens, with the aim of simplifying and communicating the government’s message.

The second pillar concerns the future and the new governing program. Under the coordination of Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis, work is underway on “Agenda 2030,” which will serve as the main framework of ND’s commitments for the next four-year term.

Economy at the Center

The economy remains the central priority, particularly increasing disposable income.

The government acknowledges that high prices continue to put pressure on households, making the coming period crucial for translating strong macroeconomic performance into tangible benefits for citizens.

This is why measures are being planned ahead of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), aimed at gradually strengthening the middle class and vulnerable groups.

In an interview with ANT1, Mitsotakis also left open the possibility of a measure concerning advance tax payments.

Broadening Support and the Electoral Goal

At the same time, ND is trying to maintain and expand its social base by combining the retention of its traditional supporters with outreach to new social groups.

Particular emphasis is also being placed on renewing the party’s political personnel, as reflected in the composition of the new Political Committee, with the goal of presenting a similar image of renewal in the candidate lists for the next elections.

The ultimate goal remains unchanged: winning an outright parliamentary majority from the first round of voting. Around this objective, the government intends to build its main political narrative through 2027, focusing on stability, continuity, and improving citizens’ everyday economic conditions.
