[2] The Venizelists entered the elections as a coalition of five "parties of the liberals" under the leadership of Eleftherios Venizelos.

Because he wanted to follow an independent line from Venizelos, Georgios Kafantaris together with some personal friends and various dissatisfied liberals founded the Progressive Party.

The former dictator, Theodoros Pangalos, stood for election in Athens as chief of the National Union.

In addition there were a large number of unaligned and independent candidates.

Finally, the Communist Party of Greece entered the elections as the United Front.
