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.
"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.
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.
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.
