Formation

The Shadow Cabinet was formed in December 2009, following the 2009 Greek legislative election. There was a "radical" cabinet reshuffle in January 2011. The Shadow Cabinet was dissolved following the May 2012 Greek legislative election, as there was no official opposition to the Caretaker Cabinet of Panagiotis Pikrammenos. Following the ND-PASOK-DIMAR coalition after the June 2012 Greek legislative election, the Cabinet of Antonis Samaras was formed, and the Shadow Cabinet of Alexis Tsipras became the next Shadow Cabinet.
