The leader of the centre-right New Democracy party in Greece, Antonis Samaras, has claimed victory in an election that could determine whether the country remains a member of the euro.

He said Greeks had expressed their will to remain an integral part of the eurozone and honour the country's commitments.

He called the win "a victory for all Europe".

Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras has called New Democracy's Antonis Samaras to congratulate him, reports say.
