The election in Greece
Mitsotakis declares himself winner - looks to take landslide victory
It looks set to be a landslide victory for conservative Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Sunday's election. After 90 percent of the votes are counted, his New Democracy party gets 40.4 percent of the votes.
The main opponent, the left-wing alliance Syriza, collects just under 18 percent.
Although New Democracy does not reach over 50 percent, they secure a majority of the parliament's 300 seats. This is as a result of a change in the electoral law that gives the largest party a bonus mandate, writes TT.
