The Greek parliament failed to elect a new president for the third time, with Constantine Tassoulas, the New Democracy party's nominee, receiving 160 votes, short of the 180 needed. A fourth round is scheduled for February 12 with a threshold of 151 votes. If inconclusive, a final round will be held, electing a president by a relative majority. The term of outgoing President Katerina Sakellaropoulou ends in March.
