Election to the Berlin House of Representatives in 1995
In the election for the Berlin House of Representatives on October 22, 1995 , the grand coalition ruling since 1990 under the Governing Mayor Eberhard Diepgen stood for re-election for the first time.
Eberhard Diepgen stood for the fourth time as the top candidate of the CDU , while the SPD stood with Social Senator Ingrid Stahmer . Ingrid Stahmer was able to prevail against the former head of government Walter Momper in an internal party election .
Result
Despite losses of 3.0 percentage points, the CDU was able to assert itself as the strongest force with 37.4%, but the SPD suffered losses of 6.8 percentage points and only achieved 23.6% of the vote. The FDP lost 4.6 percentage points and left parliament with 2.5%, while the Greens gained 3.8 percentage points to 13.2% of the vote and the PDS gained 5.4 percentage points to 14.6%.
The election result reflected a generally perceived dissatisfaction with the grand coalition, which, however, was continued in the absence of political alternatives. Eberhard Diepgen was re-elected as governing mayor at the beginning of 1996, Ingrid Stahmer remained a senator, but was unable to assert herself with her claim to take over the office as Diepgen's deputy.
The election result of the SPD was also adversely affected by the political quarrels about the SPD federal chairman Rudolf Scharping .
The turnout in this election fell below 70% for the first time in Berlin's electoral history since 1946. Before that, voter turnout had always been well over 70%, and by 1985 even over 80%.
