BBC: Greek elections: Mitsotakis hails conservative win as mandate for reform
Greek conservative leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis has trounced his centre-left rival in the second election in a month and said he has a "strong mandate" to move faster on the path of change.
His New Democracy party (ND) won 40.5% of the vote, almost 23 points ahead of Syriza, with most of the votes counted.
He beat Syriza in May, but called new elections in a bid to win a majority.
"ND is today the most powerful centre-right party in Europe," he told delighted supporters in Athens.
Mr Mitsotakis is credited with successfully returning the Greek economy to stability and growth after a severe debt crisis and three international bailouts.
Although many Greeks are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, voters chose to stick with the party promising lower taxes and improved public health.

Republicans will never hold power In The US again. They likely just had their last house win. Same goes with Canada. Good for Greece, at least they still have hope.
