The 2024 European Parliament election in Greece was held on 9 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election. This was the first to take place after Brexit. 
The governing New Democracy came first, but ceded ground in terms of both popular vote and seats secured. The left-wing SYRIZA and PASOK came in second and third, respectively: SYRIZA lost two seats, while PASOK gained one. Overall, those left-wing parties to earn representation won 10 seats and 40.36% of the vote; right-wing ones won 11 seats and 45.02% of the vote.
Background.

Controversies.
At the beginning of March 2024, Greeks living abroad received a promotional email from MEP and New Democracy candidate Anna-Michelle Assimakopoulou, which triggered a wave of criticism that the law on the protection of personal data had been violated and that data on postal voters had been illegally passed on by the Ministry of the Interior.

Aftermath.
New Democracy.
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.
SYRIZA.
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.
PASOK-KINAL.
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.This triggered a crisis within the party, with the credibility of Nikos Androulakis’ leadership being called into question. 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.
Far-right parties.
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%. NIKI entered Greece’s EU delegation with 4.4% of the vote, while far-right Voice of Reason managed to elect its leader (Afroditi Latinopoulou) as an MEP with 3.0%. 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.
KKE.
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.
Other parties.
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".
