Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won Germany's general election on the 22 September 2013, but her preferred FDP coalition partners did not secure the required 5% of votes to stay in parliament. The official results saw the Christian Democrats fall just short of an absolute majority.
