Newly elected Greek lawmakers were sworn in Sunday but the Parliament in which they sit may be dissolved as early as Monday, ahead of fresh elections on June 25.
No party achieved an overall majority in the election on May 21, which was held under simple proportional representation.
There was no attempt to form a coalition and the leaders of the three main parties returned their mandates to form a government almost as soon as they got them. The new election will be fought under a different system awarding a bonus of 25-50 seats to the winning party, depending on its performance.
