Greece Votes For Its Next Prime Minister (PHOTOS)

For the third time this year, Greek citizens cast ballots in a national vote on Sunday.  An early vote count showed former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of the left-wing Syriza party re-elected, according to the BBC. Tsipras had resigned in August when opposition to the international bailout split his party. Vangelis Meimarakis, the candidate from the conservative New Democracy party, conceded his defeat to Tsirpas, The Guardian reported.  Check out the photos below of Greek citizens and candidates at the polling stations.  -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
