Greek's new opposition hold lead over ruling Syriza in EU elections

The Greek opposition New Democracy conservative party held a lead over ruling leftist Syriza in European Parliament elections on Sunday, a joint exit poll by five private TV stations showed.

The exit poll gave New Democracy 36-32 percent of the vote compared to 29-25 percent for Syriza, which came to power in 2015. A general election is scheduled for later this year.
