The state elections in Baden-Württemberg in 1992 took place on April 5, parallel to the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein . After 20 years of sole government, it led to a loss of the absolute majority for the CDU , to a weakening of the two major people's parties, especially the CDU, and to the republicans' entry into the state parliament for the first time .

Starting position

In the 1988 state elections , the CDU, under the leadership of long-time Prime Minister Lothar Späth, defended its absolute majority, which had existed since 1972 , despite a slight loss of votes . On January 13, 1991, Späth resigned from his post as Prime Minister as a result of the dream ship affair . His successor was the previous CDU parliamentary group leader Erwin Teufel . The SPD's top candidate was - as in 1988 - parliamentary group leader Dieter Spöri .

The CDU, which had previously ruled alone, suffered losses of almost ten percent and thus lost its absolute majority after 20 years; even a possible alliance with the FDP / DVP did not have a majority. The SPD also lost 2.6 percent. The asylum debate is seen as one of the reasons for the collapse of the big parties . With 10.9 percent, the Republicans achieved a result well above expectations and for the first time moved into the state parliament of a state with 15 MPs. An Allensbach poll predicted the party only 4.4 to 5 percent. The reasons given for the republicans to move in were dissatisfaction after 20 years of sole rule by the CDU on the one hand and the unconvincing opposition on the other. The asylum debate played the most important role.

The Greens were able to stabilize their result with a plus of 1.6 percent, the FDP / DVP stagnated with 5.9 percent of the votes. The ÖDP achieved its best state election result outside of Bavaria with 1.9 percent. The NPD lost 1.2 percentage points compared to the state elections in 1988 and only got 0.9 percent of the vote.

Parliament and state politics after the election

After the surprising outcome of the election, a large coalition of CDU and SPD was formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Erwin Teufel , since neither a black-yellow nor a red-green alliance had a parliamentary majority due to the Republicans' entry into the state parliament. SPD top candidate Dieter Spöri became Minister of Economics and Deputy Prime Minister.
