TL;DR Summary

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called for a new election, possibly on June 25, after his conservative party, New Democracy, won a massive but inconclusive victory in Sunday's vote. Despite its strong showing, New Democracy didn't gather the percentage of votes needed to win an outright majority. Mitsotakis has decided against a coalition bid, so the exploratory mandate will be passed on to the second-place party, Syriza, and subsequently to the third-place finisher, Pasok. If no agreement is reached on a coalition, the parliament elected on Sunday will be dissolved, paving the way for a second round of voting to take place, and a caretaker government will be sworn in.
