Pasok leader Evangelos Venizelos on Tuesday denied that his party and main opposition New Democracy had already struck a deal for cooperation after the elections, regardless of the election outcome.

He was speaking during a press conference for media in the Peloponnese.

Venizelos pointed out that the stance currently adopted by New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras, essentially precluded any such development and Samaras was "self-excluding himself from the discussion on the country's future".

According to Pasok's leader, the two parties had directly conflicting strategies and beliefs and he said that the country would be "ungovernable" if current opinion poll forecasts translated into votes, stressing the need for a "clear mandate".
