Greek conservatives win re election with slim majority
Greece's New Democracy led by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis wins a renewed majority in the 300 seat parliament with 42.2 percent of the vote, defeating PASOK led by George Papandreou amid a bond scandal and devastating forest fires that killed over 65. PASOK falls to about 103 seats while the conservatives secure enough seats for a majority. Papandreou concedes as Karamanlis thanks voters and pledges reforms despite challenges to pension and education systems.
