Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on Sunday 18 October 1981. The Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) led by Andreas Papandreou faced New Democracy led by Georgios Rallis. Papandreou achieved a landslide and PASOK formed the first socialist government in the history of Greece (in 1963 Centrists had formed a government under the leadership of George Papandreou Andreas’ father but their party Center Union was not a socialist party but a centrist social-liberal one).
