Early parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 5 November 1989.[1] The liberal-conservative New Democracy party of Konstantinos Mitsotakis emerged as the largest party in Parliament, defeating PASOK of Andreas Papandreou. However, as in June 1989, Mitsotakis was unable to form a government since his party had failed to win a majority of seats. A National Unity government was formed under Xenophon Zolotas (a retired banker at the age of 85) as a way out of the deadlock and to restore public trust in political institutions after the recent indictments of Papandreou and four of his ministers for the Koskotas scandal.
