TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Exit polls suggest a historic victory for the anti-austerity Syriza party in Greece's general election, BBC News reported.
The polls indicate that Syriza took between 36 percent and 38 percent of the total vote, with the ruling New Democracy party a distant second with 26 percent to 28 percent.
It is unclear whether Syriza has enough votes to govern the country alone.
Syriza's Alexis Tsipras has pledged to renegotiate Greece's debt arrangement with international creditors.
He has also vowed to reverse many of the austerity measures adopted by Greece since a series of bailouts began in 2010.
The result is being closely watched outside Greece, where it is believed a Syriza victory could encourage radical leftist parties across Europe.
