The election contest between Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and opposition leader Alexis Tsipras moved into its final stretch, with Tsipras’s anti-bailout Syriza party maintaining its lead before voting day on Jan. 25.
Two separate surveys by the Alco and Rass polling companies published Wednesday in Athens showed a lead of as much as 4.9 percentage points for Syriza, or the Coalition of the Radical Left, over the premier’s New Democracy party.
