History
Predecessor	Panopoulos government (2018-2022)

The Konstantinou government (Piraese: Κυβέρνηση Κωνσταντίνου) is the twelfth and current government of the Third Piraean Republic. It is led by the Premier and leader of the People's Party, Georgios Konstantinou, and was formed after the 2022 Piraean general election in which the People's Party was the most voted political party. The cabinet is represented by a minority in the Piraean Senate; counts with several members from the Novalian People's Party and was granted the confidence of a number of Senate members from Change the Humanist Centre and Democrats.

Piraean media outlets have described the cabinet as pro-Euclean integration and with a strong liberal vision in economic aspects, where it has also been seen as technocratic. In social issues, newspapers editorials have seen it as continator of the general line of the People's Party, although combining liberal with conservative policies. The Konstantinou government marked the return of the centre-right to the government of Piraea after 3 continuous centre-left governments. In the Senate it has not counted with the approbation from the far-right Homeland, which remained on the opposition, although the parties have voted together in numerous occasions.

Investiture

During the day month, the Presidency held talks with the leaders of the parties that achieved representation in the Senate. The following day, Stella Davakis announced that the mandate for confidence was given to Georgios Konstantinou. The leader of the People's Party led the investiture debate during day month, although without being granted the confidence of the legislature; a second debate was held the following week and the abstention of Change and Democrats enabled Konstantinou to form a government.

Results

The results showed several variations from the opinion polls commissioned the weeks before; in general terms, the People's Party outperformed opinion polls by several points, becoming the largest force in the Piraean Senate with 46 members, while the Piraese Socialist Workers Union saw a significantly lower share of votes and lost 6 seats in the final Senate distribution. The left to far-left coalition Popular Unity Candidacy remained the third largest force, but the two parties that compose it lost 11 seats if joined the previous seats held by the two parties. Seen as an effect of the growth of the People's Party and Change, and a poorly performed campaign, the centre-right Democrats became the party with the biggest loses, lowering its force in the Senate from 20 to 8 seats.

On the same night of elections, Georgios Konstantinou held a conversation with Christophoros Argyras, who agreed on not presenting a candidateship to the Presidency, opening the door to the investiture of the Sotirian democrat candidate. The same night, Anna Theodoropoulou and Eleftherios Kontoglou announced the creation of a joint document with proposals for Konstantinou, in order to reach an agreement and enable the candidate's investiture.
