The 1930 election saw the Sosialdimokratikó party have drop in seats and loss of its slim majority, while the Proodeftikó party leap in seats. The PK gained a majority under the stewardship and leadership of, Thrasyvoulos Makriyannis, cementing the party's position as a major party for decades. The Syntiritikó party had a few losses. The SDK meanwhile managed to retain many vulnerable seats despite their major loss.

The election results saw a featured article, published by the highly regarded Tenothylan Guardian, titled "Winners and Losers."

1930 Forum Debate
Prior to the 1930 Forum Debate, the Syntiritiko were polling on par with, or even in some polls, ahead of the Proodeftiko. Following the narrow upset victory of the SdK the previous year, many questioned the ability of Makriyannis, a young political newcomer who many either saw as too similar to Georgios Bodosakis or paradoxically to Ampragamos in ideology. Ierevanis capitalized on this perception, and positioned himself in print media as a "different way to recovery" playing on Makriyannis' "new way forward" slogan.

The 1930 Forum was the first to be broadcast over the radio. Whereas previously the debates were summed up by highlights, and only those in Constantinople who made it early enough before seats filled up in the debate could hear it first hand, the 1930 Forum was broadcast nationwide, with audiences from all around the empire tuning in. Matsertot Ierevanis, who was often cited as having "brilliant moments with areas of dim stumble between" fared poorly during this debate. Polling numbers for the party dropped by nearly 5% following the debate, eventually leading the SK to winning less votes than the SdK. One of the most criticized aspects of his performance was his criticism of both Bodosakis and Makriyannis' ages.
