Its durability Kyriakou Mitsotakis in polls brought to the government camp an “air” of optimism and belief that the achievement of self-confidence in second vote is an achievable goal. OUR SYRIZA will do everything to drive a “wedge” into the plans of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, essentially posing a new dilemma: “progressive management through unions or independent governments?”.

The following ballots of a simple and perhaps extended counterpart will highlight the Prime Minister and perhaps become a “stepping stone” for Kyriakos Mitsotakis to achieve what no one has achieved since the post-colonial era: “two plus one”. That is, to be able to achieve three victories in a row. Undoubtedly, the party headquarters do not build their plans in accordance with the statistics. But who can ignore them? For the current prime minister, the next match is not a “third and bitter” test, and Piraeus does not worry about this fact. In the past, five prime ministers have managed to win two consecutive terms, whether or not their four-year term has expired.

OUR Konstantinos Karamanlis he came out first with the newly formed New Republic in 1974 and 1977 without seeking re-election for the premiership for a third time. He resigned in 1980 after the signing of the Greek accession treaty to the EEC. OUR Andreas Papandreou, because it seemed that in 1981 it would not be difficult to get through the gates of Megaros Maximos. The founder of PASOK won again in 1985, but not in 1989 when he lost Konstantinos Mitsotakis. OUR Kostas Simitis holds the record in the history of the modern Greek state for the longest tenure as prime minister (eight years and two months). After electoral victories in 1996 and 2000, he did not try, like Konstantinos Karamanlis, to seek a new term. He retired in early 2004.

Kostas Karamanlis also lost the election for the third time. He was the first to cut the thread in 2004 and 2007, and in 2009 George Papandreou beat him by 10 points. The last person to win two elections in a row (January 2015 – September 2015) and not win a third (July 2019) was Alexis Tsipras.

Post-political history has also recorded prime ministers who missed the second time. And these are the statistics that they keep in Komundura. Konstantinos Mitsotakis won in 1990 but was defeated by his great rival Andreas Papandreou, who returned to power in 1993. .

The peculiarity of the ending four years is that there was no pre-election struggle. Neither the European elections, nor the polls of local governments, which in many cases in the past were the best “poll” and “guide” of the result in parliamentary elections. They took place in May 2019 with the absolute dominance of the New Democracy, which saved the July victory 3.5 years ago. The only European elections that “fooled” the voters were held in June 1999. New Democracy sent Brussels a victory message, beating PASOK by three points. This was not confirmed almost a year later in April 2000 when Kostas Simitis beat Kostas Karamanlis by one point.
