Greek lawmakers approved of a third bailout agreement with European creditors in the early morning hours of Thursday by 229 to 64 with six MPs voting “present”, in a vote that saw 39 ruling SYRIZA deputies defy the “party line” to set the stage for a government reshuffle or even an internal showdown.

A total of 229 MPs voted “yes”; 64 “No” and six voted “present”.

From the ruling party’s bloc of 149 deputies, 32 voted “no”, six “present” and one MP was absent.
