Alexis Tsipras, the former Greek prime minister and leader of the far-left Syriza party is confident he can regain power at this weekend's parliamentary elections.<br />"Syriza will certainly be the biggest political party in the country and I think the goal of an absolute majority is totally achievable," Tsipras told the Euronews television channel Tuesday.<br />Greeks will go to the polls for the fifth time in six years on Sunday, as Tsipras seeks a fresh mandate to push through huge reform commitments made under a new 86-billion-euro bailout with the country's international creditors.<br />Tsipras, who stood down last month amid criticism of his handling of Greece's economic crisis, said he was prepared to consider forming a coalition government with other parties in order to avert another round of elections.
