After more than a decade in opposition, Karamanlis' conservative New Democracy (ND) party came to power following the March 2004 parliamentary elections, in which it won a landslide victory over the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK).
Posle više od decenije u opoziciji, Karamanlisova konzervativna Nova Demokratija (ND) došla je na vlast posle parlamentarnih izbora u martu 2004. godine, na kojima je ubedljivo pobedila Panhelenski socijalistički pokret (PASOK).
