Partial results from Sunday's referendum in Greece indicate voters have rejected the terms of a bailout-for-reforms deal proposed by the country's international creditors.

With over 30% of the votes counted, rejection of the bailout terms by a 'No' vote stood at 60%, while 40% had voted 'Yes' to accept the agreement put forward by creditors on 25 June.

The ‘no’ in the Greek referendum has taken an early lead as 60% of the first count gave the Greek radical left coalition government a mandate to reject international creditors’ reforms. If the trend continues, then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will reject the creditors compromise proposal.

The 'No' vote appears to be leading in Greece's bailout referendum by a small margin, according to final opinion polls released after voting ended on 7 p.m. on Sunday, newswires reported.

Separate opinion polls conducted by GPO, Metron Analysis and MRB all put the outcome at a slim lead of three percentage points for the 'No' camp over the 'Yes' vote.

The first official statement on behalf of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government was made by Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis, a close co-worker of Prime Minister Alexis Statement. He said that 41 years after the last referendum, the government organized the referendum in just under a week.

The “Νο” vote is ahead 46,5 το 52,5 percent in the projected results of the first telephone opinion poll released on Sunday evening by the Marc firm, with the “Yes” vote expected to garner 45.5 percent to 51.5 percent of the vote, while the GPO firm’s results on Mega television give 48.5 percent for “yes” to 51.5 percent for “No” in the Greek referendum.
