5.32pm Communist Party of Greece (KKE) General Secretary Aleka Papariga has refused a meeting with Coalition of the Radical Left leader Alexis Tsipras, who is currently approaching the leaders of other parties in Parliament in efforts to form a coalition government. Papariga was the first party leader contacted by Tsipras to arrange a meeting, after he received the exploratory mandate, sources said, but she declined. Tsipras has had a meeting with the head of the Democratic Left party Fotis Kouvelis, whose party has elected MPs to Parliament, while his next meeting will be with the Ecologists-Greens, who did not manage to clear the 3 percent minimum needed to elect an MP. Syriza will announce the results of Tsipras' talks with other party leaders after the round of meetings has been concluded.
