Greek voters headed to the polls again Sunday in an election where conservative front-runner Kyriakos Mitsotakis is seeking a second term and an absolute parliamentary majority to form a "stable government”.

Harvard graduate, who steered Greece from the coronavirus pandemic back to two consecutive years of strong growth, had already scored a thumping win in an election just a month ago. Mitsotakis, who hails from one of Greece's most influential political families, had trounced his next nearest rival, former leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, by more than 20 percentage points in the last vote.
