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.
