Athens, Dhu-AlQa'dah 6, 1436, Aug 21, 2015, SPA -- The head of the conservative Greek opposition party Nea Dimokratia (ND) will have a chance to form a new government following this week's surprise resignation of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, dpa cited an email from the president's office Friday as showing. According to the Greek constitution, the head of the next-largest party gets a chance to form a government after the sitting premier resigns. Meimarkis is expected to meet with President Prokopis Pavlopoulos around midday to discuss the options after the president's office sent him an email early Friday giving him the mandate to form a new government. Tsipras announced his resignation on Friday, hours after Greece received the first payment from its third internationally backed bailout in five years. --SPA 11:08 LOCAL TIME 08:08 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
