Falling well short of its showing in the final polls (which projected New Democracy to win a third of the vote), just as it has in the 2019 European parliament election, Kyriakos Mitsotakis acknowledged the "message understood,” and pledged to move Greece closer to the EU. [48]
Suffering a nearly 40% decline in its vote share from the 2019 elections, many considered the outcome to be a defeat for Syriza and its new leader, Stefanos Kasselakis. The party failed to win in any region of the country, including Chania, home to Kasselakis. [48]
The alliance improved from its showing in the 2019 EU election, but remained stagnant from legislative elections and failed to fulfill its goal of reasserting itself as the official opposition. [48] This triggered a crisis within the party, with the credibility of Nikos Androulakis’ leadership being called into question. [49] [50] Some in the party also floated the possibility of an alliance with Syriza in advance of the 2027 legislative elections, including Syriza MP Nikos Pappas and Athens’ PASOK mayor Haris Doukas. [51] [52] [53]
Greece, unlike Northern Europe, was not an exception to the far-right surge. Most significantly, Greek Solution’s support almost than doubled to 9.3%.

Altogether, parties widely considered to be positioned on the far right (including minor contestants, such as Patriots and Creation) took nearly 20% of the vote share. [48]
Despite slipping to fifth place, being surpassed by Greek Solution, KKE managed to nearly double its vote share, from 5.3% in the 2019 election to 9.2%. The party retained its third position in the region of Attica. [54] [55]
The New Left party's leader, Alexis Haritsis, admitted to their failure to retain either of their two MEPs, unlike Mera25 leader Yannis Varoufakis who said that they may have failed to reach the 3% mark but slightly improved their percentages in contrast to last year; saying on left-wing collectivised newspaper Efsyn that they were the sole carrier of "the subversive, ecological left".
