State election in Brandenburg 1999
The state elections in Brandenburg in 1999 determined the composition of the 3rd parliamentary term of the Brandenburg state parliament on the basis of the results from the 44 constituencies . It took place on September 5, 1999. 54.30% of the two million eligible voters took part in this election. The turnout was lower than in the 1994 election .
For the SPD , Prime Minister Manfred Stolpe stood again , for the CDU for the first time the former Interior Senator of the State of Berlin , Jörg Schönbohm .
This time the SPD lost almost 15 percentage points, but remained the strongest party. The CDU was able to gain almost eight percentage points and both parties formed a grand coalition . The PDS also increased again (+ 4.63 percentage points). The right-wing extremist DVU moved into the state parliament with just over five percent. The Greens and FDP continued to lose votes and therefore failed to make it into the state parliament again. The SPD won 37 out of 44 electoral districts and thus gained an overhang mandate , as it would only have been entitled to 36 parliamentary seats after the second share of the vote. According to the relevant electoral system for other parties, however, no compensation was due.
The constituent session of the state parliament took place on September 29, 1999.
The formation of the grand coalition meant, among other things, that Minister of Social Affairs Regine Hildebrandt resigned from the government at her own request because she had preferred a coalition with the PDS .
