Legislative elections were held in East Germany on 18 March 1990. It was the first—and as it turned out only—free parliamentary election in the GDR and the first truly free election held in that part of Germany since 1933. A total of 400 deputies were elected to the Volkskammer. The largest bloc was the opposition Alliance for Germany led by the East German branch of the Christian Democratic Union and running on a platform of speedy reunification with the West.
