Legislative elections were held in the Greek Republic on 19 August , 1928 . At stake were 250 seats in the Greek Parliament , the Vouli. The 1928 elections delivered an overwhelming majority to Eleftherios Venizelos .

The elections were run according to the "majority" electoral system which had been employed in the 1923 elections.

The Venizelists entered the elections as a coalition of five "parties of the liberals" under the leadership of Eleftherios Venizelos. These were the Democratic Union (later the Agricultural Labour Party ) under the leadership of Alexandros Papanastasiou , the National Democratic Party led by Georgios Kondylis , the Conservative Democratic Party under Andreas Michalakopoulos and the Progressive Union under the leadership of Konstantinos Zavitsanos . 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 anti-Venizelist movement went into the elections divided as the People's Party , the Freethinkers' Party and a few independent royalists who put themselves up for election. 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.

The result of the elections was a great triumph for the Liberals, who won 61.02% of the vote.
