German federal election, 1994

German federal election, 1994

The 13th German federal election, 1994 was conducted on October 16, 1994, to elect members to the Bundestag (lower house) of Germany.

Issues and Campaign

The SPD selected Rudolf Scharping, Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate, as candidate for Chancellor against Helmut Kohl, but tension between Scharping and other SPD leaders Oskar Lafontaine and Gerhard Schröder hampered his campaign.

The PDS was able to secure four direct seats, making it eligible for full caucus status and proportional representation even though it remained below the 5% margin.

Results

¹ Totals for the Greens reflect the merger of the Western and Eastern Green parties.

Post-election

The coalition between the CDU/CSU and the FDP was able to continue in power with Helmut Kohl as chancellor.
