Greece’s conservative New Democracy party won a landslide victory in the country’s second election in five weeks Sunday, with partial official results showing it gaining a comfortable parliamentary majority to form a government for a second four-year term.
Shortly after 9:00 pm, Mitsotakis said, "Today we will briefly enjoy our victory but as of tomorrow, we are rolling our sleeves up and getting to work," he said in a brief message at party headquarters.
With nearly 90% of the votes counted, New Democracy will form a stand-alone government for a second term with 158 seats in a 300-seat Parliament and 40.51% of the votes, followed by SYRIZA with 47 (17.84%) and PASOK-KINAL with 32 seats (11.97%).
