Election result
The Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) won the election by a narrow margin over the New Democracy (ND). All left parties suffered losses in the election. The Democratic Social Movement (DIKKI), previously represented in parliament, failed because of the three percent hurdle and was therefore unable to send any more representatives.
