New Democracy names 11 new candidates for the 2027 Greek elections

The announcement

New Democracy named 11 new candidates for the 2027 parliamentary elections on 5 November 2026. The list was released by decision of Prime Minister and party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, according to the party's press office. The candidates will be placed on the party's ballots in constituencies in Attica, the Peloponnese, Western Greece, Macedonia and Piraeus. One report described the step as the first stage of drawing up the ballots ahead of the next national vote. Iefimerida framed the batch as a continuation of renewing the party's ballots in Attica and the regions.

Attica, Piraeus and Thessaloniki

Attica receives two new names in Athens constituencies. Angelos Chorianopoulos, a geopolitical risk analyst, will run in the North Athens sector B1 constituency, while Faidra Tsalachouri, a lawyer, is set for Athens A. Giota Trigoni, a dentist, will stand in Piraeus B. In Thessaloniki B, Apostolos Anthopoulos, a 38-year-old emergency physician at the Papageorgiou hospital, joins lawyer Katerina Ziouta on the ballot.

Western Greece

Western Greece accounts for four of the 11 names, with two in Achaia and two in Aitoloakarnania. In Achaia, Andreas Tsokos, a geologist, is again a candidate after receiving 7,951 preference votes in the 2023 national elections. Efstathia Giannia, a retired lieutenant general of the Hellenic Police, is also running again in Achaia, and she exceeded 10,000 votes in the 2023 elections. In Aitoloakarnania, Vasilis Feugas, who serves as secretary for strategic planning and communication, is joined by Christina Fountzoula, a mechanical engineer. Both Aitoloakarnania candidates have a record of party activity in the prefecture.

Argolida and Kavala

Zois Stavropoulos, a lawyer and vice-president of the Athens Bar Association, will run in Argolida, where he was born and raised in Argos. He has sat on the Athens Bar Association's board since 2017 and was re-elected in 2021 and 2025, when colleagues placed him first among the candidates of all slates. He also holds the rank of reserve captain. In Kavala, Konstantinos Kalantzis is the son of Giorgos Kalantzis, a former minister for Macedonia and Thrace.

What remains open

The party has not given a timetable for further candidate announcements in the regions covered by the articles. The reports do not state the date of the 2027 parliamentary elections, and they treat this list as a preparatory step. Several candidates come from law, medicine and policing, while others have longstanding party roles. Beyond the names, constituencies and professional backgrounds, the sources give no further detail on how the candidates were chosen.
