Photographer Dimitris Skoulos to run with New Democracy

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Greek Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis officially announced that the prominent photographer and former GNTM judge, Dimitris Skoulos, will join the New Democracy party ballot. The announcement took place during a public meeting in Nea Ionia, attended by Minister Georgiadis and Dimitris Kairidis, and was later confirmed by Georgiadis through his social media account on X.

Skoulos is set to run as a candidate in the B Piraeus electoral district. This political candidacy represents a significant career shift for the photographer, who became a household name primarily through his professional work and television appearances. During the event, Minister Georgiadis highlighted his personal acquaintance with Skoulos, noting that they are tennis partners.

The inclusion of Skoulos in the electoral list is part of the party's strategy to incorporate well-known public figures into its ranks ahead of the upcoming elections. While no further specific campaign schedule was provided, this decision marks a definitive entry into the political sphere for the photographer. No further official statements regarding potential court dates or legal proceedings were mentioned, as this remains a political recruitment matter.
