Greece is holding its second general Election in five weeks, with conservative leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis expected to win re-election by a large margin. Mitsotakis and his main rival, Alexis Tsipras, have cast their votes. Tsipras, who leads the left-wing Syriza party, accepted that his party would be in opposition for the next four years. The economy is the key concern for voters, with Greece gradually recovering from its financial crisis. Despite criticism over how Greek authorities handled the recent capsizing of an overcrowded fishing trawler carrying migrants, the incident has done little to dent Mitsotakis' 20-point lead in opinion polls over Tsipras.
