Greek election ‘too close to call’
The results will be followed around the world, amid fears of economic turmoil
Greece’s right-wing New Democracy and left-wing Syriza parties are almost neck-and-neck after parliamentary elections, exit polls suggest.
New Democracy, which broadly supports a European bailout deal, looked to be almost tied with Syriza, which opposes the measure.
The outcome could decide Greece’s future inside the euro.
The election was the second in six weeks, called after a 6 May vote proved inconclusive.
The two main parties are thought to have polled between 27 and 30%, the exit poll showed.
But though the result could be almost a dead heat, the party that does come out on top will receive an extra 50 seats.
The BBC’c Chris Morris says that with the parties so close, the cliche that “every vote counts” has never been more true.
The centre-left Pasok, a potential partner for New Democracy in a pro-bailout government, polled 10-12%, with several smaller anti-bailout parties on 5-6%.
Sunday’s vote is being watched around the world, amid fears that a Greek exit from the euro could spread contagion to other eurozone members and send turmoil throughout the global economy.
Tough austerity measures were attached to the two international bailouts awarded to Greece, an initial package worth 110bn euros (£89bn; $138bn) in 2010, then a follow-up last year worth 130bn euros.
Many Greeks are unhappy with the conditions attached to deals which have been keeping the country from bankruptcy.
