The far right party Vlaams Blok became the second largest party in Flanders just after the alliance of conservatives CD&V-N-VA. The green party Groen! managed to be elected and keeps half of their seats in the parliament. In contrast with the previous election, party VU-ID has split and both new parties, N-VA and SPIRIT allied with CD&V and SP.a respectively. Because of the cordon sanitaire of all democratic parties against Vlaams Blok, a coalition of at least 3 parties needs to be formed in order to have a majority in the Flemish Parliament. Green party Groen! has confirmed it doesn't want to take part in the new coalition, so the only left is a conservative-socialist-liberal tripartite. In the aftermath of the elections, Yves Leterme (CD&V) was selected to form a Flemish regional government. | esults (%) | Results (seats) | | a href="/encyclopedia/Socialist-Party-(francophone-Belgium)" title="Socialist Party (francophone Belgium)">PS | 36.9% | 34 (+9) | | a href="/encyclopedia/Mouvement-Rformateur" title="Mouvement Rformateur">MR | 24.3% | 20 (-1) | | a href="/encyclopedia/Centre-dmocrate-humaniste" title="Centre dmocrate humaniste">CDH | 17.6% | 14 (-) | | a href="/encyclopedia/ECOLO" title="ECOLO">ECOLO | 8.5% | 3 (-11) | | a href="/encyclopedia/National-Front-(Belgium)" title="National Front (Belgium)">FN | 8.1% | 4 (+3) | In the aftermath of the elections, Elio di Rupo (PS) was selected to form a Walloon regional government.
