The votes are in and Greece's conservative New Democracy Party has come out on top of
00:06
Sunday's local elections.
00:08
The party of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis won seven of the country's 13 regions, including
00:15
one of its largest, Athens.
00:17
And now he's hoping to take the other six in the second round.
00:21
I think there was no specific message in these elections.
00:27
There were just some conclusions, confirming some things that we saw in the national elections.
00:33
The first is the sovereignty of the ruling party in the election scene.
00:39
A second small conclusion is the fact that the "Kaselakiada" and this gel that Mr. Kaselakis
00:45
did in the media, but also in some Syriza reporters, we do not see it at the level of the national
00:53
election body.
01:04
Three months after the national elections, the citizens' vote in the self-governing elections
01:08
confirmed the political scene that has been formed.
01:12
But apart from the government party that prevailed, the abstention also prevailed, which reached
01:16
almost 70% in the largest municipality of Greece, the municipality of Athens.
01:24
Voters will return to the polls on the 15th of October for a second round runoff.

Thank you.
01:31
Thank you.
