Two polls broadcast after a Sunday referendum in Greece on whether to accept tough bailout conditions suggested a narrow win for a 'No' vote, which could jeopardise its place in the eurozone.

A poll by the Star television channel carried out by telephone during voting on Sunday and the day before gave a 49-54 percent range for 'No' ballots against 46-51 percent for 'Yes'.

A similar Mega channel poll suggested a 49.5-53.5 percent 'No' vote and 46.5-50.5 percent for 'Yes'.

The radical left government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had lobbied for a 'No' result in the referendum in a bid to strengthen its hand in negotiations with international creditors.
