Greek Ruling Conservatives Win Election, But Fall Short of Majority

The New Democracy party of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has won a landslide victory over its main rival, the left-wing Syriza party of Alexis Tsipras in Greece's national elections on Sunday, but still no absolute majority. The lack of an outright victory means Mitsotakis will either have to seek coalition partners or choose to head to a new election. Given the deep divides between Greek political parties, negotiations would likely be thorny, making a second vote likely in late June or early July.
