This is the list of the elected members of the 19th Plenary session of the Hellenic Parliament as it emerged after the results of the national elections held on 21 May 2023.[1] The resulting parliament held only two sittings, the first to swear in its members and the second to elect its president and vice-presidents. This is the second so called "fleeting" Parliament in the country's post-war history, after the two-day Parliament that emerged from the polls on 6 May 2012.[2]

The elections saw an unprecedented historic victory for New Democracy in terms of size and scale, and a similarly crushing defeat for Syriza, but no party won an overall majority.[3][4] As a result, the President of the Republic, with the agreement of all parties, called for by-election, which was held on 25 June 2023 by the caretaker government of Ioannis Sarmas.[5]

The MPs elected were sworn in on Sunday 28 May 2023, in the presence of the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the Prime Minister of the caretaker government, the Ministers of the Government and a number of ambassadors.
The following day, Monday 29 May, the election of the Presidium took place. Konstantinos Tasoulas was elected again president of the Parliament with 270 votes "for" and 26 "abstentions" from the KKE deputies.
Immediately after the election of the Presidium, the Presidential Decree was signed, by which it was decided to dissolve the Parliament of the 19th, to call new parliamentary elections and to convene the new Parliament, and the dates of these were fixed.[6]
