[July 29, 2015]  ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday he may be forced to call an early election if he does not have a working parliamentary majority.

"I would be the last person to want elections, if I had the secured parliamentary majority to make it through to the end of the four-year term," he said in a local radio interview.

"But if I don't have a parliamentary majority, we will be forced to go to elections."
