Greek President appoints judge as caretaker PM for upcoming elections.
TL;DR
Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou appointed Judge Ioannis Sarmas as a caretaker prime minister to prepare the country for new elections after the three main party leaders rejected a mandate to form a coalition government following Sunday's inconclusive vote. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis turned down the mandate and said he would seek a second vote on June 25 to secure an outright majority. The repeat election will happen on June 25 if there are no constitutional issues.
