Senate elections were held in Greece on 21 April 1929.[1] The Senate was a new institution introduced with the Greek Constitution of 1927 and these were the first elections for it. The result was a victory for the Liberal Party, which won 64 of the 92 directly-elected seats.[2] It was regarded as a public approval of the policies of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos.
