Greece’s conservative New Democracy party won in a landslide the 7 July snap national election, defeating the ruling radical left-wing Syriza party. A total of six parties will enter parliament based on the result and without the presence of far-right Golden Dawn. A breakdown of each party’s percentage of the vote and seats in the 300-seat parliament shows New Democracy winning 39.78% and 158 seats, SYRIZA with 31.56 % and 86 seats, ΚΙΝΑL at 7.97 % and 22 seats, Communist Party of Greece (ΚΚΕ) with 5.34 % and 15 seats, Εlliniki Lysi (Greek Solution) won 3.74 % and 10 seats, and MeRA25 with 3.47 % and 9 seats.
