Coalition Cabinet of Xenophon Zolotas

The Coalition Cabinet of Xenophon Zolotas was sworn in on 23 November 1989, when the November 1989 Greek legislative election resulted in a hung parliament. After an agreement between the three biggest parties, New Democracy, Panhellenic Socialist Movement and Coalition of the Left and Progress, a coalition government of national unity (οικουμενική κυβέρνηση) was formed under Xenophon Zolotas, the former governor of the Bank of Greece, which replaced the previous caretaker government of Ioannis Grivas. Zolotas reshuffled the cabinet on 13 February 1990.

When the government completed its work on 8 April 1990, elections were held under the electoral law passed by the Papandreou government.
