After today’s swearing in of the 300 new MPs which arose from the June 25 elections, on Tuesday morning, the Parliament will convene to elect the president of the Hellenic Parliament and then the vice-presidents, deans and secretaries, according to the proposals of their parliamentary groups.

Initially, the meeting will be presided over by the temporary First Vice-President of the Parliament, Nikitas Kaklamanis. He will announce the letters of the presidents of the parliamentary groups regarding the persons they propose for the new president of the Parliament as the submission of a nomination by a candidate is not admissible.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in his letter to the Parliament, has announced that he nominates the current president of the Parliament, Konstantinos Tassoulas, for the position.

The new president of the Parliament will be elected with roll call and is required to receive an absolute majority of the entire number of Members of Parliament. If the 151 positive votes are not collected, the voting is repeated and the person who received the most votes is elected.

Mr. Kaklamanis will announce the result of the vote and will call on the new president of the Parliament to immediately occupy the chair, where he will also deliver a speech. Subsequently, the Plenary will break for a few minutes and will continue under the presidency of the new Speaker of the House in the successive votes for the nomination of the 10 Vice Speakers of the House.

The first three vice-presidents will be from the ND parliamentary group and one from the other parties in order to form the proportional representative presidency of the Parliament. The election of the vice-presidents of the Parliament is done by a relative majority. However, each must receive at least 70 positive votes to be elected.
