 ATHENS: Greece’s center-right opposition party New Democracy has  won the nation’s general election with a landslide.

With most districts counted, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras admitted defeat to his rival, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

New Democracy has 39.8% of the vote so far, with Tsipras’s leftist Syriza party in second place with 31.6%.

Current projections give New Democracy an outright majority, as the winner receives 50 extra seats in parliament.

So far about 88% of districts have returned their results.

The prime minister-elect told supporters he had been given a strong mandate for change.
