Changes from previous Parliament edit
The new parliament, sworn in on 5 February 2015, presented a radical departure from the past, with 134 out of 300 MPs elected for the first time.[1] The new parliament also boasts the record number of 68 women MPs.[2] For the first time, there was provision of a civil, instead of religious, oath, with the majority of MPs preferring to take the civil oath.[1] Sixteen former ministers and other veteran political figures, chiefly from New Democracy and PASOK, failed to get elected.[3] The most prominent "casualty" is former Prime Minister and former PASOK chairman George Papandreou, making this the first parliament since 1923 without a representative of the Papandreou political dynasty.[4] The only MP remaining to have served in the first Parliament of the Third Hellenic Republic in 1974 is New Democracy member for Piraeus B, Ioannis Tragakis, while the only member elected in the 1977 parliament is New Democracy chairman and outgoing Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras.[2]
