Greece's conservative prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has secured another four-year term in power following a landslide victory in the country's parliamentary elections
It comes only five weeks after previous elections on 21 May, which were held under a different electoral system and meant New Democracy was unable to get the absolute majority it wanted.
Sunday's poll used a system which gives the leading party bonus seats depending on the level of support from voters. Mr Mitsotakis, who was prime minister from 2019 until he temporarily stepped down following the inconclusive May poll, has vowed to push ahead with reforms to rebuild the country's credit rating in the wake of its debt crisis.
The 55-year-old told cheering supporters in Athens:"This freely given support only increases my responsibility to respond to people's hopes. I personally feel an even stronger obligation to serve the country with all my abilities."
