Greek voters on Sunday overwhelmingly re-elected the conservative New Democracy
party, preliminary results showed, setting the stage for its leader, Kyriakos
Mitsotakis, to strengthen his grip on power with an absolute majority and what
he called a “strong mandate” for the foreseeable future.

With his landslide victory, voters appeared to have overlooked his government’s
ties to a series of scandals and embraced his promise of continued economic
stability and prosperity.

With 91 percent of the votes counted at 9:45 p.m., the party had 40.5 percent,
and was poised to win 158 seats in Greece’s 300-member Parliament, far ahead
of the opposition Syriza party, which was in second place with 17.8 percent,
with 47 seats. The socialist Pasok party took third place, with 12.5 percent,
and got 32 seats.

In a statement from his party’s headquarters in Athens, the capital, Mr.
Mitsotakis described the results as “a strong mandate, to move more quickly
along the road of major changes.”

He also said of those who had voted: “In a resounding and mature way, they put a
definitive end to a traumatic cycle of toxicity that had held the country back
and divided society.”

Turnout, however, was just over 52 percent, compared with 61 percent in the
first elections held in May, according to preliminary results. Earlier on
Sunday, Greek television showed images of packed beaches following a final week
of campaigning in which politicians had appealed to voters not to forsake their
vote for the waves.
