Voting begins in Greece election

Sunday, 20 September 2015


Voting begins in Greece's general election, it indicating a tight race between left-wing incumbent Syriza party and conservative New Democracy.
Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras's popularity plummeted after he agreed a new bailout deal with European leaders.
The snap election, Greece's fifth in six years, was called after Syriza lost its parliamentary majority in August.
The bailout involved austerity measures which Syriza had vowed to oppose.
Greece is mired in a deep financial crisis and whoever wins Sunday's election will have to oversee further tough economic reforms, according to BBC.
