Europarliament elections: Major shake-up at top, bottom of Greece's political spectrum
Sunday's European Parliament elections witnessed a change at the top and bottom of the political spectrum in Greece, as center-right New Democracy (ND) handily defeated hard left SYRIZA, whereas a handful of smaller parties that entered Parliament during the 2015 elections essentially "vanished" from the political landscape.
Politico opinion poll: ND at 35.08%, SYRIZA at 26.49%
One of the last opinion poll results announced before a legal ban - in effect 24 hours before polling stations open for Sunday's European Parliament election - on Friday shows New Democracy (ND) party fielding a 8.2-percentage point lead over SYRIZA.

However, none of these scenarios have been confirmed in the two latest polls released on Monday.
