Albig cabinet SPD–Green–SSW Günther cabinet CDU–Green–FDP The 2017 Schleswig-Holstein state election was held on 7 May 2017 to elect the members of the Landtag of Schleswig-Holstein.

The incumbent government was led by Minister-President Torsten Albig, and consisted of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), The Greens, and the South Schleswig Voters' Association (SSW).

The result was a stalemate, with the incumbent left-wing government parties (SPD, Greens and SSW) being three seats short of a majority, and CDU and its usual coalition partner FDP also coming up three seats short due to the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) entering the Landtag.

FDP leader Wolfgang Kubicki ruled out a traffic light coalition (SPD-Greens-FDP),[1] whilst CDU leader Daniel Günther ruled out a Grand coalition (CDU-SPD).
