Greece's two main pro-bailout parties clinched enough votes to form a government in knife-edge elections, as world powers pushed for a new cabinet as soon as possible to ease global fears.
"Today the Greek people expressed their will to stay anchored with the euro," said Antonis Samaras, the leader of the conservative New Democracy party which preliminary official results showed in the lead with 30.04 percent.
"We ask all political forces which share the aim of keeping the country in the euro... to join a government of national unity," he said.
