TABLE-Greek conservatives maintain lead with 97 pct of vote in
ATHENS, June 18 (Reuters) - Greece's conservative New
Democracy party held a 2.9 point lead in Sunday's vote after 97
percent of the ballots were counted, the country's interior
ministry said.
New Democracy had 29.7 percent of the vote, while the
radical leftist SYRIZA party was running second with 26.9
percent.
The result allows a pro-bailout majority in the country's
300-seat parliament.
The election could determine whether Greece is pushed to
bankruptcy and crashes out of the euro zone, a scenario
policymakers have warned could occur if the anti-bailout SYRIZA
party placed first.
Here are the election results:
