The Walloon Government (French: Gouvernement wallon) or Government of Wallonia (French: Gouvernement de Wallonie) is the executive branch of Wallonia, and it is part of one of the six main governments of Belgium. It sits in Namur, where the Parliament of Wallonia is seated as well.
On 13 September 2019 it was announced that Elio Di Rupo would become the minister-President of Wallonia again for the third time, in a government led by the PS (23 seats), together with MR (20 seats) and Ecolo (12 seats).[1]
On 19 June 2017, the CDH announced it was no longer willing to govern together with the PS following several scandals in Belgian politics in which high placed members of the PS were involved typically receiving high payments for extra functions, including in Publifin and SAMU Social.[2] On 25 July the CDH (13 seats) formed a new coalition together with the MR (25 seats), only narrowly getting a majority (38 out of 75 seats), to create the first government since 1988 in which the PS was not involved. The number of ministers was reduced from eight to seven.
Following the 25 May 2014 election, PS (30 seats) and CDH (13 seats) parties formed a coalition.
Following the 7 June 2009 election, PS (29 seats), Ecolo (14 seats) and CDH (13 seats) parties formed a coalition.
After the elections of 13 June 2004, the PS (34 seats) en CDH (14 seats) formed a coalition.
