Nov 10, 2005 - Berlin, GERMANY - After the inconclusive result of the 2005 German federal election, neither of the traditional coalitions could form a majority government and so the formation of a new government required careful negotiations. Finally, on October 10, officials from the CDU CSU and the SPD announced that negotiations had concluded successfully on forming a Grand Coalition with Angela Merkel as a Chancellor. Detailed negotiations on the formation of the new government continued into November.
