As President of the Council of State, he took the premiership of an interim government from 4 to 18 April 1946 after the troubled 31 March 1946 elections, which were simultaneous with the reigniting of the Greek Civil War.

In 1947, he became a member of the Archaeological Society of Athens and of the Academy of Athens, of which he was elected president in 1954.[4]

He died in Athens on 16 January 1968 at the age of 86.[5] He was the maternal grandfather of the famous author and playboy Taki Theodoracopulos.[6]
