* The Fräi Party Lëtzebuerg (Free Party of Luxembourg) existed briefly in 2003 and 2004
The choice brought only slight changes. Junckers CSV won two more seats and thus emerged slightly stronger from the election, while coalition partner LSAP lost one seat - as did DP and ADR. Déi Lénk, who was represented with a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the first time from 1999 to 2004, managed to return to parliament. With 3.3% of the vote, it exactly repeated its result in the 1999 chamber elections .
CSV and LSAP decided to continue the grand coalition with Juncker as prime minister.
