Syriza party set for big poll victory in Greece's general election

The party is projected to win about 150 seats, just one short of an absolute majority, though officials say that number could change. The ruling New Democracy party is projected to come a distant second. 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.
 PM Antonis Samaras has admitted defeat and phoned Mr Tsipras to congratulate him.
