BBC: Greek election: Centre-right Mitsotakis hails big win but wants majority 

Greece's conservative prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has won national elections, hailing his party's big victory as a "political earthquake". 

His centre-right New Democracy party were heading for almost 41% of the vote, five seats short of a majority. 

His centre-left rival Alexis Tsipras congratulated him, with his Syriza party set for a poor result of 20%. Mr Mitsotakis said the result showed that Greeks had given his party a mandate for a four-year government. 

"The people wanted the choice of a Greece run by a majority government and by New Democracy without the help of others," he said in a victory speech.
