Greece drifts closer to euro exit New Democracy, which took the biggest share of votes, then failed to form a coalition government. That saw Mr Tsipras, whose left-wing Syriza party came a surprise second in the polls, on Tuesday given three days to form a government - which he said would oppose the terms of Greek austerity. "The bail-out parties no longer have a majority in parliament to vote for measures that plunder the country," he said. There will be no €11bn (£9bn) of additional austerity measures; 150,000 jobs will not be cut. Athens is supposed to be offering up another €11bn of savings to continue to secure international aid. Mr Tspiras is expected to struggle to form a coalition. Antonis Samaras, the leader of New Democracy, said he could not renege on the austerity pledges that secured the rescue deal. However, if a second election sees Mr Tsipras increase his support, as many expect, his chances of success rise. Athens, meanwhile, is expected to receive its next €5bn tranche of support from the EU and the IMF on Thursday. Future payments will hinge on political developments, with officials warning that Greece could run out of cash by the end of June. With no government, it is also unclear who will decide whether Greece will make a €450m bond payment due on May 15. The holders of the debt, issued under foreign rather than Greek law, did not take part in Greece's recent debt restructuring.
