Presidential elections were held in Greece between 4 and 11 April 1926.[1] At the time the country was a dictatorship under Theodoros Pangalos, who had led a coup the previous year. Pangalos who was one of the two candidates; the other, Konstantinos Demertzis, withdrew from the contest before election day, but remained on the ballot paper. Pangalos received 93% of the vote.[2] However, he was removed from office on 22 August following a counter-coup and was replaced by Pavlos Kountouriotis.[2]
