After the CDU had achieved a narrow absolute majority with 45.5% of the votes in the state elections in 1999 and Peter Müller had been elected Prime Minister of Saarland, Peter Hans replaced him in the position of parliamentary group chairman. On September 5, 2004, the CDU was able to expand its lead in the state elections and the majority faction, led by Hans, won an additional seat in the Saarland state parliament despite the entry of Alliance 90 / The Greens and the FDP . A particular concern for him was the strengthening of the rights of the state parliaments , which in his opinion increasingly lost power in favor of the executives . Although he had suffered from severe cancer for years, Hans continued his work until a few days before his death.
