Greece is heading for another general elections next month, possibly on June 25 as the ruling National Democracy Party refused to form a government with the other contending parties and pitched for holding another general election to allow the party with the largest seats to get majority and run the new administration smoothly. The other parties with smaller seats also declined to make any attempt to form the government. The general election to the 300 member Parliament was held on May 21 which did not give majority to the ruling NDP. The party was short of five seats from majority mark.NDP got 146 seats as against 71 by leftwing Syriza, 41 by socialist PASHOK and 26 by the communist KKE.
