After only eight months after Syriza was elected, the Greek people today again go to the polling stations. More than 9.8 million Greeks have the right to vote today will need to determine which party or political option will decide their future and implement the new package of the measures agreed.
What will people choose remains a puzzle until the last votes are counted.
Leftist group SYRIZA, who only have one drop of hope left in them was their revolt against the EU agreement in the third memorandum, stood in line with the two parties that have traditionally ruled Greece for the past three decades or right-wing New Democracy, which is still associated with the old memorandums and the old corrupt political system, and plays with Alexis Tsipras mistakes and promise cooperation with several political options that will be easier dealing with the crisis?
Polling stations opened this morning at 7 am local time and will close at 19 pm. Immediately after the polls closed, all the media will come out with the results of its surveys and evaluate the possible winner. The first official figures from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be expected around 21 to 21:30 am local time.
The elections take place in an extremely complex environment and time for Greece because of its financial burden which has left the country with limitations on transactions at the banks not to mention the new refugee crisis.
Recent surveys summarized in the media, show good leadership from leftist party SYRIZA. Experts warn that the uncertainty that reigns the region at the moment, can mean that it will be necessary to wait for a full count of votes before any of the parties declare election victory.
