  Following the 2019 general election, Tasoulas was elected President of the Hellenic Parliament with a record of 283 votes in favor, from the government ND party, as well as the opposition parties of Syriza, KINAL, EL, and MeRA25, with the Communist Party of Greece submitting a notion of 15 "present" voters, and two abstentions (by Dimitris Tzanakopoulos and Effie Achtsioglou). It was also the first time a Speaker of the Parliament was elected by open ballot.
