New Democracy Party Secures Victory in Greek Elections

Greece's main conservative party, New Democracy, won a double-digit lead over its main rival, the left-wing Syriza party, in Sunday's election. However, New Democracy's 40% vote share wasn't enough to gain full control of the 300-seat parliament due to the new electoral system of proportional representation. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will either have to seek a coalition partner from a smaller party or prepare for a second election later this year to form a government in his country. The second election is expected to be held in late June or early July.
