The Caretaker Cabinet of Ioannis Sarmas was sworn in on 26 May 2023 and dissolved on 27 June 2023. After an inconclusive election held on 21 May 2023 resulted in a hung parliament, President Katerina Sakellaropoulou appointed Sarmas, the president of the Court of Audit, as caretaker prime minister. This was done according to provisions of the Greek Constitution after none of the major parties were able to form a government.[1]

Following a second election held on 25 June 2023, the cabinet was dissolved when the second Mitsotakis cabinet was sworn in two days later.
