Deputy Prime Minister of Greece


The Deputy Prime Minister of Greece is the second most senior member of the Cabinet. Despite the English translation of the title, he does not actually deputize for the Prime Minister, rather it is a mostly honorific post for senior ministers, and is usually combined with another senior government portfolio or a coordinating role over several ministries. The post is not permanent, rather it is created on an ad hoc basis, usually for the leaders of junior parties in coalition cabinets, and may be held by more than one person at once.
The incumbent Deputy Prime Minister in the Second Cabinet of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is Kostis Hatzidakis, who also serves as Vice President of New Democracy.
