At the November 1974 elections the Party received only 13. 5 % of the vote and won 15 seats ( out of 300 ), coming third behind the center-right New Democracy Party of Konstantinos Karamanlis and the centrist Center Union-New Forces of Georgios Mavros.

Konstantinos " Kostas " Chalkias (; born 30 May 1974 in Larissa ) is a retired Greek footballer who last played as a goalkeeper for PAOK.

In July 1974, the events in Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister.

Following Karamanlis ' resounding victory in the November 1974 parliamentary elections ( his New Democracy party won 54. 4 % of the vote ), he called for a referendum ( for 8 December 1974 ) on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic without reference to the illegal republic still in place appointed by the military junta.

Outstanding Greek public figures in the 20th century include Cretan-born Eleutherios Venizelos, prominent statesman of the interwar period ; Ioannis Metaxas, dictator from 1936 until his death ; Constantine Karamanlis, prime minister ( 1955 – 63, 1974 – 80 ) and president ( 1980 – 85 ) of Greece ; George Papandreou, head of the Center Union Party and prime minister ( 1963 – 65 ); and his son Andreas Papandreou, the PASOK leader who became prime minister in 1981.

In 1974, Stephanopoulos was appointed Deputy Minister of Commerce in the National Unity government of Constantine Karamanlis.

After the restoration of parliamentary democracy in 1974, Constantine Karamanlis legalised the KKE hoping to reclaim " a vital part of national memory ".

Karamanlis served in New Democracy's organisational and ideological sectors from 1974 to 1979 and from 1984 to 1989.

When democracy was restored in 1974, Tzannetakis joined the New Democracy party of Constantine Karamanlis.

From 1974 to 1980, Molyviatis was diplomatic advisor and director general of the political cabinet of Prime Minister Constantine Karamanlis.

Karamanlis ' new party, New Democracy, won the November 1974 general election, and he remained prime minister.

In July 1974 he was one of the politicians who brokered the end of the Regime of the Colonels and the appointment of Constantine Karamanlis as Prime Minister.

While the Venizelist legacy was still popular, election results were disappointing as the abolition of the monarchy, the dilution of support for Greek nationalism after the seven years of the junta and the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and Karamanlis ' move towards the political center had blurred the differences between the liberals and their former conservative opponents, while the socialist PASOK party was gaining support at the left side of the spectrum.
