Greeks began voting on Sunday in the first general election since Greece emerged from international bailouts, with runoff polls predicting conservatives will come to power and end four years of leftist rule blamed for saddling the country with more debt.

The snap election is largely a showdown of two contenders. Incumbent Alexis Tsipras of the Syriza party is on one side. The 44-year-old radical leftist stormed to power in 2015 vowing to tear up the austerity rule book, only to relent weeks later.

On the other side is Kyriakos Mitsotakis, 51, of New Democracy, the scion of a political dynasty who hopes to follow in the footsteps of his father as prime minister.
