The center-right New Democracy party, led by current Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, has received 25 percent of votes and is followed by the far-right Golden Dawn party, which has gained about 6 percent. A total of seven parties have managed to pass the 3-percent threshold.
Siryza has vowed to revise Greece's austerity measures, aimed to meet the bailout conditions set by international creditors in exchange for multibillion euro loans issued over Greece's sovereign debt crisis.
