The snap elections were called after the government led by Wilfried Martens (CVP) fell due to the Voeren issue. Following the election, the King appointed Jean-Luc Dehaene (CVP) as informateur; Dehaene famously replied "Sire, give me one hundred days." 106 days later a new government was formed, again led by CVP leader Wilfried Martens.
