Voting is underway in Greece’s historic election, which could bring an anti-bailout party to power.<br /><br /> Leftist Syriza has led opinion polls for months, widening the gap over the centre-right New Democracy party of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.<br /><br /> A victory for Syriza – which is led by Alexis Tsipras – would produce the first euro zone government openly committed to cancelling the austerity terms of its bailout programme. <br /><br /> The Greek economy last year emerged from recession for the first time in six years and unemployment has begun to drop slightly, but it maybe years before the country recovers. <br /><br /> While Syriza is expected to form the biggest group in parliament, it is unclear whether it will be able to govern alone or have to form a coalition. <br /><br /> Polls opened at 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) and will close at 7 p.m. (1700 GMT). The first exit poll is expected immediately after voting ends.
