The 2023 Piraean general election was held on 10 September 2023 to vote the formation of a new legislature in the Piraean Senate and its 125 members. It was a snap election convened by the Premier Georgios Konstantinou after the 2023 Piraean regional elections, in which People's Party received majorities in most regions[1]; the election was perceived by the political class as a was of finding exit to the ongoing judicial deadlock.

The crisis was deepened on March, after the renounce of Kapos-Tanou, magistrate close to the government; shortly after, the Presidency announced the start of negotiations with the government and opposition to renovate mandates and propose changes in the law.
