 | | The German federal election, 2002 was conducted on September 22, 2002, to elect members to the Bundestag (lower house) of Germany. |
 | | Although the opposition gained seats, and the result was in doubt for most of the election night, the governing coalition retained a narrow majority. |
 | | The government, on the other hand, was helped by broad support for its opposition to the Iraq War and by Gerhard Schröder 's personal popularity relative to the opposition's candidate for Chancellor, CSU leader Edmund Stoiber. |
