TL;DR Summary

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' conservative party won a thumping victory in Sunday's election, falling just short of an outright majority. Mitsotakis hinted that he would seek a new ballot to obtain an absolute majority enabling it to govern alone. His rival, leftist challenger Alexis Tsipras, also set the stage for a new vote. Mitsotakis campaigned on a pledge to build on the country's economic gains, with unemployment and inflation falling and growth projected to reach twice that of the European Union's average.
