The Shadow Cabinet of Kyriakos Mitsotakis was announced on 21 January 2016, ten days after the election of Kyriakos Mitsotakis as President of New Democracy. As Leader of the Opposition, Mitsotakis could appoint a shadow cabinet to assist him in his duties.
Many members of the shadow cabinet were appointed ministers in Mitsotakis' government in July 2019.
Composition
Each of the main six coordinators were responsible for specific areas of policy covered by Standing Committee Groups (EFC). Each coordinator had a number of other shadow cabinet members that cover more specific policy areas. Also, Vasilis Kikilias served as a special migration coordinator, an area not covered by the EFCs.
