The party was elected to power in 1963 , with Papandreou as Prime Minister . In 1965 , king Constantine forced Papandreou from the office following the '' Apostasia Of 1965 '' plan, designed by him and executed by Center Union's politician Konstantinos Mitsotakis . He then formed a new government using the apostates, ex members of EK, and installed Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas as prime minister. Athanasiadis attempted to gain a Vote Of Confidence in parliament, but the EK party was Split In Two , and a political crisis ensued that led to the period of the Greek Military Junta Of 1967-1974 . The Center Union Party was the last Venizelist party to hold power in Greece. The party nominally continued to exist until 1977 , when its successor Center Democratic Union (EΔΗΚ) party was created. Konstantinos Mitsotakis , who had defected the EK in 1965, formed a rival Venizelist party, known as the "Party of New Liberals", which merged with New Democracy in 1978. SEE ALSO |
