GREEK LEGISLATIVE ELECTION, 1952

The 'Greek legislative election' of 16 November 1952 resulted in victory for General Alexander Papagos and the party he had founded the previous year, the Greek Rally party.
Papagos won by unifying most of the conservative forces under his leadership, and taking advantage of a weakened centre.
The electorate of Konstantinos Tsaldaris' People's Party, the leading conservative party in the 1950 election, shrunk to only 1%.
