Following this election, a government was formed without the Christian democrats. New Minister-President nl Patrick Dewael no (Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD)) led a "purple-green-yellow" coalition of his own liberal VLD, the Socialist Party, Agalev and the nationalist People's Union (VU-ID). This change mirrored what happened on the federal level, where the nl Jean-Luc Dehaene no Government was succeeded by the Guy Verhofstadt Government. Also notable was the continuation of the rise of nl Vlaams Blok no, especially in the constituency of Antwerp where Filip Dewinter was candidate and where the party received 25% of the votes, or as much as 30% in the city of Antwerp itself. centre Flanders Brussels Total +/- Christian People's Party 857732 28 2 30 -7 Flemish Liberals and Democrats 855867 27 27 Flemish Block 603345 20 2 22 +5 Flemish Socialist Party 582419 19 1 20 -6 Agalev 451361 12 12 +5 People's Union 359226 11 1 12 +3 Vivant 77864 Union of Francophones 36683 1 1 PVDA-AE 24162 PNPB 12489 W.O.W. 8043 UDDU 4150 Solide 2464 A 2331 W.I.T. 1659 LEEF 1621 V.N.P. 727 Vrijheid, Intimiteit, Thuis, Arbeid en Liefde 563 MLINKS 478 238749 4471695 Belgian Elections By constituency List of members of the Flemish Parliament, 1999–2004 These were only the second direct election for the Flemish Parliament, but the last to use arrondissement-based constituencies.
