New socialist Prime Minister of Greece, George Papandreou was sworn into office today and will name a cabinet aimed at backing up his promise to rescue the country's economy. The new PM was administered the oath of office by Archbishop Ieronymos in the presence of President Karolos Papoulias. In contrast to his predecessor Costas Karamanlis, he was not accompanied by minister appointees.<br/><br/>Papandreou, whose PASOK party won 44 per cent of the vote in Sunday's election to sweep the ruling conservatives out of power, is expected to unveil a slimmed-down administration in parliament later today. There are currently 16 ministries, but the new leader is expected to redraft the cabinet in line with pledges to focus on citizens' rights, development and environment-friendly policies, media reports said.
