1926 Greek legislative election

Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 7 November 1926.[1] The Liberal Union emerged as the largest faction in Parliament with 108 of the 286 seats.[2] The composition of the new parliament meant that the parties and factions had to work together to form a viable parliamentary government. On Kafandaris' initiative, negotiations began among the main parties, leading to the swearing-in on the 4 December of a government under the premiership of Alexandros Zaimis who was not a member of parliament. The coalition consisted of the Liberal Union, the Democratic Union, the People's Party and the Freethinkers' Party. This government came to be known as the "Ecumenical government".
