ATHENS, Greece — Greece's conservative New Democracy party won a landslide victory in the country's second election in five weeks Sunday, with partial official results showing it gaining a comfortable parliamentary majority to form a government for a second four-year term.

Official results from nearly 90% of voting centers nationwide showed Kyriakos Mitsotakis' party with just over 40% of the vote, with his main rival, the left-wing Syriza party, suffering a crushing defeat with just under 18%, even worse than its 20% in the last elections in May.
