Will the Greece PM be able to form a new government?
The New Democracy party was the clear winner in Sunday’s polls with more than 40 percent of the vote, but it failed to win an outright majority.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to govern for another four years. Voters appear to want him to lead as well.
But although his New Democracy party was the clear winner in Sunday’s polls with more than 40 percent of the vote, it failed to win an outright majority.

So what’s next for Greek politics and is the opposition party still relevant?
