Preparing for the spring 2027 vote

Reports tie the session to the elections of spring 2027, with the organisation of the party machinery as its central theme. Discussion covered how the Political Committee and the party's other bodies should operate. Participants also looked at mobilising party officials through government delegation tours across Greece. Coverage presents the activation of the party machinery across the country as the aim of the session.

Mitsotakis stressed the role of the rank and file in the party's work.

“The members and executives of the party are our great strength”

He argued that no other party is as well organised.

Kyranakis review and next steps

Secretary Konstantinos Kyranakis gave an account of the party's actions and tours over the last six months. He then set out the planned next steps. These were the restructuring of party bodies, the drawing up of ballot lists and a wider role for the party base in shaping the government programme. Which of these steps were agreed, and on what timetable, is not stated in the accounts.

What remains unstated
