Greek conservatives lead in national election-exit poll

Greek conservatives were leading over the leftist Syriza in elections on Sunday, a joint exit poll by six polling agencies showed.

The exit poll gave the conservative New Democracy party between 36-40% of the vote versus25-29% for the leftist Syriza party, which governed the country in 2015-2019, at the peak of Greece’s financial crisis.

The projections suggested that New Democracy was not likely to win outright.
