On Tuesday 24 October 2023, 46 deputies (MPs) were sworn into the Chamber of Deputies as the new parliament convened for the first time following the recent legislative elections in Luxembourg.
The 46 newly sworn-in deputies are as follows:
Christian Social People's Party (CSV; 21/21 seats): Gilles Roth; Diane Adehm; Nancy Kemp-Arendt; Emile Eicher; Félix Eischen; Luc Frieden; Paul Galles; Léon Gloden; Martine Hansen; Christophe Hansen; Max Hengel; Marc Lies; Elisabeth Margue; Georges Mischo; Octavie Modert; Marc Spautz; Charel Weiler; Serge Wilmes; Claude Wiseler; Michel Wolter; Laurent Zeimet
Democratic Party (DP; 9/14 seats): Carole Hartmann; André Bauler; Simone Beissel; Corinne Cahen; Luc Emering; Fernand Etgen; Gusty Graas; Lydie Polfer; Gérard Schockmel
Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP; 5/11 seats): Mars Di Bartolomeo; Dan Biancalana; Liz Braz; Francine Closener; Claire Delcourt
Alternative Democratic Reform Party (ADR; 5/5 seats): Fred Keup; Jeff Engelen; Fernand Kartheiser; Alexandra Schoos; Tom Weidig
The Greens (déi Gréng; 1/4 seats): Meris Sehovic
Pirate Party (Piraten; 3/3 seats): Sven Clement; Marc Goergen; Ben Polidori
The Left (déi Lénk; 2/2 seats): Marc Baum; David Wagner
A total of 60 deputies make up the Chamber of Deputies (Luxembourg's parliament), although only 46 took their oath on Tuesday afternoon. Since government ministers cannot also serve as MPs, the fourteen elected members of the outgoing government were not sworn in on this occasion; this will only be possible if they do not form part of the next government. Similarly, some new MPs are likely to replace a number of those who were sworn in on Tuesday, as the new ministerial roles become known; CSV-DP coalition talks remain ongoing.
Michel Wolter (CSV), the longest-serving MP, accompanied by the two youngest MPs, Liz Braz (LSAP) and Luc Emering (DP), chaired the first public session of the new parliament.
