This created an initial enthusiasm to his followers and panic to New Democracy, who seemed to lose more ground as opposition to the ruling [[PASOK]]. At the time of KEP's foundation, polls gave the new party a percentage of 24%, something extraordinary and unusual for a new party in Greece.
-However, KEP's percentages in polls continued falling, and the initial enthusiasm quickly faded away. In only a few months' time, and to his supporters' surprise and disappointment, Avramopoulos unexpectedly terminated its existence as a party, pointing at KEP's financial shortcomings as an excuse. He announced that KEP would continue operating as a think tank, and this effectively marked Avramopoulos' return to New Democracy.
