Greek Snap Polls

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Sunday he would call for early polls next month after a drubbing at European and local elections.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned on Thursday, hoping to strengthen his hold on power in snap elections after seven months in office in which he fought Greece's creditors for a better bailout deal but had to cave in.

Greece delayed repayment of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan on Friday and a deputy minister said the government might call snap elections if its creditors do not soften their terms, an option that an opinion poll showed four of ten Greeks support.

Polling stations opened in Greece today for a snap general election that could bring the anti-austerity Syriza party to power and lead to a re-negotiation of the country's international bailout.

Former Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, revealed plans on Friday to create a new political party - a development that further complicates the landscape in Greece ahead of a snap general election later this month.

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said today that a snap election planned for next month would determine whether the country remains part of the eurozone or not.

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Monday called for a snap poll next month that could bring a radical anti-austerity party to power after parliament failed for a third time to elect a President.

Lawmakers from today will vote for a new Greek president in a ballot that will lead to snap general elections if they fail -- putting on the line years of efforts to turn around an economy in crisis.
