Conservative leader admits defeat in Greek poll, neo-Nazis take 3rd place

In Greece, the head of the conservative New Democracy party, Vangelis Meimarakis has admitted defeat, handing the victory to Alexis Tsipras, head of the leftist Syriza party.

“It appears that Mr Tsipras’ Syriza is first, I congratulate him,” Meimarakis says.

Exit polls show neo-Nazi Golden Dawn taking third place in the polls with 7.35 percent according to exit polls, beating out the socialist Pasok Party.

Golden Dawn’s appeal has not dimmed despite its leadership being on trial over the murder of an anti-fascist rapper two years ago.
