Nikitas Kaklamanis was elected the new speaker of the Greek Parliament with 247 votes, writes A2 CNN.
According to Greek media, the majority in the Assembly with 247 deputies supported the candidacy of Nikitas Kaklamanis, who was thus elected the new Speaker of the Assembly. ND, PASOK, SYRIZA, Hellenic Solution, Spartans and the majority of independent deputies voted in favor of Nikitas Kaklamanis' candidacy.
On the other hand, KKE, Niki, New Left and Pleussi Eleftherias declared themselves “present”. Dimitris Natsios, Rallia Christidou and Nikos Vrettos were absent from the vote.
We recall that Nikitas Kaklamanis was nominated for the highest parliamentary position by the leader of the New Democracy party, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, following the resignation of Kostas Tasoulas, who will be a candidate for President of the Republic.
Nikitas Kaklamanis, immediately after the announcement of the result, took the floor and, among other things, said that his election to the high parliamentary position also marks the end of the personal political marathon that began in 1990 when he was first elected as an MP.
"It is a great joy, honor and responsibility," he said in his first speech, writes A2 CNN. (A2 Televizion)
