The German National People's Party made significant gains, nearly surpassing the SPD as the largest party. Most of the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) had merged back into the SPD in 1922, leaving behind only a small rump party that did not receive enough votes to return any members to the Landtag. The German People's Party lost a portion of the gains it had made in the previous election. The National Socialist Freedom Party, a disguised rebirth of the Nazi Party formed after it was banned following the Beer Hall Putsch, won 2.5% of the vote and 11 seats.
