Greece confirmed on Saturday that it would a hold a repeat general election on June 17, after party leaders failed to form a coalition government following an inconclusive election.
“We are calling a general election for June 17. The new parliament will convene on June 28, Thursday,” said a statement from the parliament’s press office.
The statement said President Karolos Papoulias had dissolved the parliament elected on May 6, two days after it was convened. The date of the new election was released last week but was not official until Papoulias issued Saturday’s decree.
