The incumbent

Agalev and the nationalist People's Union (VU-ID). This change mirrored what happened on the federal level, where the Jean-Luc Dehaene Government was succeeded by the Guy Verhofstadt Government
.

Also notable was the continuation of the rise of Vlaams Blok, especially in the constituency of Antwerp where Filip Dewinter was candidate and where the party received 25% of the votes, or as much as 30% in the city of Antwerp itself.
