Greece heads to second election as conservatives dominate polls but fail to clinch majority

New Democracy party won an overwhelming victory in Greece's parliamentary election but fell short of an outright majority in parliament.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis confirmed he will seek a second national election within weeks to secure the majority he needs to govern alone.
The left-wing Syriza party and center-left Pasok party rejected invitations to try to form a coalition government following their defeat.
The new election will revert to a system that grants the winning party a bonus of up to 50 seats, increasing the chances of New Democracy gaining a majority.
Voters want political stability and economic growth to continue in Greece following years of financial crisis and austerity under previous governments.
