Greek legislative election, 1977

In the Greek legislative election, 1977, Prime Minister, Constantine Karamanlis, called for early elections. His party, ND, suffered a significant loss of power, but, nevertheless, Karamanlis managed to secure an absolute majority in the Parliament. The big surprise was the success of PASOK, whose socialistic rhetoric remained radical. Because of PASOK's success, the Centrists (Union of the Democratic Centre, ΕDIK, former Center Union - New Forces) led again by Georgios Mavros lost half of their power. As a result, Andreas Papandreou, PASOK's leader, became a prominent figure in Greek politics. The Communists (Communist Party of Greece) and the Nationalists managed to amplify their support.

Post-election

In 1979 Greece became European Community's 10th member, despite the opposition of PASOK and the Communists. In 1980, Constantine Karamanlis succeeded Constantine Tsatsos as President of the Republic. George Rallis became prime minister and new leader of ND.
