According to the results of the exit polls that were announced a few minutes ago, SYRIZA is close to achieving absolute majority in the next Greek parliament and emerge as the dominant force of a seven-party parliament, with 153 seats.

If the exit poll results are confirmed and Alexis Tsipras party wins over 37.5% of the votes, then SYRIZA will be able to form an outright government.

More specifically, SYRIZA’s absolute majority will be considered guaranteed if the percentage of the newly-founded Movement of Democratic Socialists (KINIMA) doesn’t make the parliament entry threshold of 3% and the total percentage of the parties that don’t make it in the Greek house is about 9%.

If however Papandreou’s party manages to garner enough votes to get into the parliament, then the same percentage of 37.5% will ensure SYRIZA 149-150 seats, i.e. less than the 151 needed for absolute majority.

If KINIMA doesn’t make it in the Greek house, New Democracy will have 68 deputies, followed by far-right Golden Dawn with 21 seats, To Potami with 18-19 seats, the Communist Party with 15, PASOK with 13 and AN.EL. with 11.
