Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Greek politician, prime Minister of Greece, President of New Democracy party

Kyriakos Mitsotakis is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Kyriakos Mitsotakis as Greek politician, prime Minister of Greece, President of New Democracy party.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis was born at Athens in 1968. His recorded nationality is Greece. He was educated at Harvard University and Stanford University.

Modern political life is continuous and public: careers are made and unmade at a speed that leaves little room between decision and verdict.

He served as Minister of Administrative Reform and Electronic Governance of Greece (2013–2015), Leader of the Opposition (2016–2019) and Prime Minister of Greece (2019–2023).

His political affiliation is recorded as New Democracy.

His name is attached above all to his party to a majority in the 2019 Greek legislative election. The test of a public life is what remained possible afterwards that had not been possible before.

Formal honours included the Thomas T. Hoopes Prize and Order of Saint Mark of Alexandria.

That the career was made in Greece is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
