Theodoros Deligiannis is asked to resign by George I of Greece over continuing disagreements between the Prime Minister and Crown over economic policy, despite the fact that the Prime Minister maintains the confidence of the Parliament.

The king, in dismissing the Prime Minister calls for new elections and asks Konstantinos Konstantopoulos, a fellow member of Deligiannis' Nationalist Party, to form a government on February 18, 1892.

During the reign of King Otto, Konstantopoulos was a Mayor of Patras and later leader of the Prefectures of Achaia and Elis.

He was successful in averting bloodshed in a feud in that area.

Konstantopoulos leads his party in the May 3 election, but Charilaos Trikoupis' New Party wins the election and on June 10, 1892, Konstantopoulos is replaced by Trikoupis.
