Greece’s Alexis Tsipras has said his left-wing Syriza party has a “clear mandate” after winning a second general election in less than nine months.<\/p>\n
But he said Greeks faced a difficult road and recovery from financial crisis would only come through hard work.<\/p>\n
With nearly all votes counted, Syriza had won more than 35%.<\/p>\n
That was short of a majority, but Syriza will form a coalition with the nationalist Independent Greeks. Conservative New Democracy won 28%.<\/p>\n
The far-right Golden Dawn is set to be the third biggest party, with about 7% of the vote<\/p>\n
The snap election was called after Syriza lost its majority in August. This followed the signing of an unpopular new financial bailout deal with international creditors.<\/p>\n
Turnout in Sunday’s poll was just over 55%, down from 63% in January and low by Greek standards.<\/p>\n
