During the tumultuous period of the Greek military junta from nineteen sixty-seven to nineteen seventy-four, Androutsopoulos held several key ministerial positions. He served as Finance Minister from April twenty-first, nineteen sixty-seven, to August twenty-sixth, nineteen seventy-one, and later as Minister for the Interior from August twenty-sixth, nineteen seventy-one, to May tenth, nineteen seventy-three.

His tenure as Prime Minister lasted from November twenty-fifth, nineteen seventy-three, to July twenty-third, nineteen seventy-four, during which he also held the position of Finance Minister until July twenty-sixth, nineteen seventy-four. His leadership marked a critical transition in Greek politics, culminating in the general election that restored democracy.
