Athens, Dhu-AlHijjah 07, 1436, September 21, 2015, SPA -- Alexis Tsipras was set Monday to be sworn in for the second time as prime minister of Greece after his leftist SYRIZA party was swept back into power in a snap election, dpa reported. With nearly all the ballots counted, SYRIZA clinched more than 35 per cent of the vote versus conservative rival New Democracy's 28 per cent. Extremist far-right party Golden Dawn came in third with 7 per cent. Less than two hours after polls closed Sunday evening, New Democracy leader Evangelos Meimarakis conceded defeat and Tsipras said shortly after that he would seek to build a government with former junior coalition partner Independent Greeks. --SPA 11:57 LOCAL TIME 08:57 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
