The announcement

New Democracy named six women on Monday, 19 October, as candidates for its ballots in the 2027 parliamentary elections. The party said the decision was taken by Prime Minister and party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and it issued the list as a formal statement giving each candidate's constituency and profession. None of the six stood in the 2023 elections, which makes the group new to the party's national ballots. The operative sentence of the statement reads in English as follows:

“By decision of the Prime Minister and New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, it is announced that the following will be included on the party's ballots for the 2027 parliamentary elections.”

The six candidates

Vicky Kavallari, a lawyer and regional councillor of Attica, is listed for A' Eastern Attica. Elena Sokou, a journalist who coordinates the prime minister's office in Northern Greece, is listed for Evros. Argyro Tragaki, a civil servant, is listed for B' Piraeus. Menia Kalou, a tax technician and deputy mayor of Kordelio-Evosmos, is listed for A' Thessaloniki. Anna Tzika, a civil engineer and regional councillor of Pieria, is listed for Pieria. Elena Florou, a lawyer, is listed for B3 of the South Athens sector. The group spans local government, law, public administration, journalism and engineering.

Kavallari's published biography

The biography released with the list says Kavallari was born and raised in Acharnes, where she has run a law office since 1997. She is an accredited mediator who specializes in family and cadastral disputes, and her published career includes expropriation cases for the Proastiakos rail line, the Attiki Odos motorway, the Olympic Village and Kymis Avenue. She is vice president of the association Friends of the Agioi Anargyroi Oncology Hospital.

In 2023 she was elected as the first regional councillor for East Attica on the ticket of Nikos Hardalias, under the name ATTIKI MPROSTA. She served as deputy regional governor of East Attica from January 2024 to September 2025 and now sits on the region's strategic planning coordinating body.

Open questions

The articles do not give a date for the 2027 elections beyond the year itself. They also do not say how many further names the party will announce or when, and they give no order for the six listed candidates. Only these six names and their constituencies are confirmed, so the remaining seats in the country are not covered by this statement.
