ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Greece's coalition government won a confidence vote Monday called by the left-wing opposition but saw its parliamentary majority cut by one seat.

Socialist deputy Theodora Tzakri was expelled from the party after refusing to back Conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' 15-month-old government in the vote held in the 300-seat parliament early Monday.

Samaras saw his support cut to 154 deputies - just three above the minimum required - after Tzakri was declared an independent.

Samaras formed the coalition after the June 2012 election and has pushed through unpopular austerity measures demanded by international lenders in return for the country's 240 billion-euro ($322-billion) bailout.
