Mitsotakis was declared the winner of Sunday’s run-off vote as it emerged that he had won 52.4 percent of the vote, against 47.6 percent for rival candidate Evangelos Meimarakis. More than 330,000 people voted in the ballot.
“We will try to renew New Democracy creatively and with absolute respect to its traditions and with awareness of the current reality,” said Mitsotakis as he took over the presidency from caretaker leader Giorgos Plakiotakis.
He pledged that under his leadership New Democracy would stand against the “populism of an ineffective government.”
Mitsotakis said that his aim is to create a “big centre-right party” and that nobody would be left out of this effort.
