Election result.
The Brandenburg United Civic Movements/Free Voters entered the Landtag despite falling short of the 5% electoral threshold because of the "basic mandate clause" in electoral law, which exempts parties that win at least one direct mandate from the threshold. The BVB/FW leader Christoph Schulze won Teltow-Fläming III, situated south of Berlin, with 27% of first votes. His success was attributed to discontent with the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport in this area, which lies in the designated approach corridor. Schulze's advocacy of a ban on night flights had been the reason for his defection from the ruling SPD (which he had represented in parliament since 1990) to the BVB/FW.
