Greek parties vow changes to bailout deal

The heads of the two parties projected to earn the most votes in Greece’s election have called for changes in the country’s international bailout terms, with one seeking to re-negotiate the deal and the other to overturn it.

Updated projections late last night show conservative New Democracy head Antonis Samaras leading with 18.9% and 108 seats in the 300-member parliament, far less than the 151 needed to form a government.

Leftist Syriza head Alexis Tsipras was second with 16.8% and 51 seats, while the former majority PASOK was projected third with 13.4% and 41 seats.
