Antonis Samaras - We head for elections
In early elections led the country after the parliament failed to elect a President of the Republic and in the third, final vote.
The nomination of Stavros Dimas garnered only 168 votes in favor, as in the second vote, compared with the minimum majority of 180 seats needed. Even before the completion of voting, the "present" had overcome the key 120 was needed to prevent the election Dimas.
The ruling majority failed to attract even one extra vote in relation to the second round. "Present" voted ultimately independent MPs that could change the balance, while there were "leaks" from opposition parties.
Under the Constitution, this House should be dissolved within 10 days. The most likely days for conducting elections is January 25 and February 1.
