The National Political Union (Greek: Εθνική Πολιτική Ένωσις (ΕΠΕ), Ethniki Politiki Enosis (EPE)) was a political alliance in Greece in the 1940s.

History[edit]

The coalition was founded in 1946 as an alliance of the National Unionist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party of Greece and the Liberal Party of Venizelists.[1] In the general elections that year, the alliance received 19% of the vote, winning 68 seats.[2]

The alliance did not contest any further elections.[3]
