Alexis Tsipras' Syriza party has won the parliament election on Sunday. Syriza has won 35.47%. It was the fifth snap election in the country over the last six years.

The time is needed to form the new government. Syriza has no majority and it will form a coalition with the nationalist Independent Greeks.

Only 55% of Greeks voted on Sunday, down from 63% in January.

"We have difficulties ahead of us but we also have a solid ground, we know where we can step, we have a prospect. Recovery from the crisis can't come magically, but it can come through tough work," Tsipras said after his victory.
