2014 Belgian federal elections

The 2014 Belgian federal elections were held to choose members of the federal parliament, reflecting the country’s complex political landscape. Belgium is divided primarily into Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia, along with a smaller German-speaking community. The elections resulted in no single party winning outright, leading to a fragmented parliament. Major parties like the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), Socialist Party, and Christian Democrats gained seats. The elections prompted negotiations for a new government, highlighting Belgium's unique political challenge of forming coalitions across linguistic and regional lines. Overall, the vote underscored ongoing political shifts and regional sensitivities within Belgium.
