Grek-Referndum Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will submit his resignation to the country's president later on Thursday (20 August) to clear the way for early elections on 20 September, a government official has said.

Tspiras, elected in January, is expected to make a televised state address on Thursday evening.

Tsipras effectively lost his parliamentary majority after a rebellion by hardliners in his Syriza party who oppose a bailout agreement struck with international lenders.
