The 2009 Saxony state election was held on 30 August 2009 to elect the members of the 5th Landtag of Saxony. The incumbent grand coalition of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Social Democratic Party (SPD) led by Minister-President Stanislaw Tillich retained its majority. However, the CDU chose to discontinue the coalition in favour of forming government with the Free Democratic Party (FDP). Tillich was subsequently re-elected as Minister-President.
