STORYLINE
Greeks angered by a vicious and protracted financial crisis punished their two main parties in national elections on Sunday, with exit polls projecting no party gaining enough votes to form a government.
Updated official projections on Sunday evening showed conservative New Democracy leading with 18.9 percent and 108 seats in the 300-member parliament, far less than the 151 needed to form a government.
Leftist Syriza was second with 16.8 percent and 51 seats, while the former majority PASOK was projected third with 13.4 percent and 41 seats.
Exit polls suggested the Radical Left Coalition, which vehemently opposes austerity measures, could become the second largest in the Greek parliament.
"(The voters) turned their backs on the parties that backed the bailout agreement. They reacted to the harsh austerity that was imposed on our country. Surely tomorrow will be a new day for our country," said party candidate Giorgos Vamvakas.
The conservative New Democracy party appeared the most likely to win the top spot but supporters were muted about its overall performance at this poll.
"The circumstances are such that the result actually good in order for Greece to start going forward," said New Democracy supporter Manolis Papadomanolakis.
Days of talks are likely to ensue as parties attempt to hammer out a governing coalition.
