The Senate was a new institution introduced with the Greek Constitution of 1927. In 1929 the first elections for the Senate took place and resulted in a triumph for the Liberal Party, Eleftherios Venizelos and the other venizelist parties.

Nevertheless, this result was expected after the victory of Eleftherios Venizelos in the legislative elections of 1928 and it was regarded as a public approval of Venizelos' policies.

Notably, this new institution, the Senate, did not last long.
