Greek Parliament fails to elect new President
Fruitless ended the second round of voting in the Greek Parliament.
The Greek Parliament on Tuesday failed to elect Stavros Dimas as president of the Hellenic Republic in the second of three rounds of voting for the presidential election.
A total of 168 deputies voted in favour of his candidacy and 131 MPs did not support him and voted 'Present'.
Greek government has to wait for the third round when the required super-majority drops to 180 votes, meaning a frantic round of between-vote backroom meetings and telephone calls looms.
