Eurasia Group: Tsipras likely to move up national elections to late May, ND to win absolute majority

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is likely to survive a parliamentary vode of confidence after his nationalist coalition partner quit in disagreement over the Prespes accord, risk consultancy Eurasia Group said Monday giving a 60 percent probability.

Furthermore, the Eurasia Group Note said that late May is the earlier plausible date for parliamentary elections adding that main conservative opposition is expected to win an absolute majority.

In its analysis on Wednesday's vote of confidence, Eurasia Group said four MPs from Panos Kammenos's Independent Greeks (ANEL) party are likely to side with the government.

"We also continue to expect the vote to ratify the Prespes agreement to be approved later this month, also by a narrow margin," it said.

The deal was ratified last week by lawmakers in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
