The New Democracy party (ND) 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, according to official preliminary results.
With most polling stations processed, the ND reportedly had a 21-point lead over Syriza, but still no absolute majority.
Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis hailed the outcome as a "political earthquake" and a strong mandate for the ND.
But even if the ND has won the most seats, the lack of an outright victory means Mitsotakis will either have to seek coalition partners or choose to head to a new election.
