The New Democracy party was the big winner in Sunday’s polls with more than 40% of the vote, but it failed to obtain an absolute majority.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to govern for another four years. Voters seem to want him to lead as well.
But although his New Democracy party was the big winner in Sunday’s polls with more than 40% of the vote, it failed to secure an outright majority.

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