It originated in the 19th century <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Party_(Belgium)" title="Catholic Party (Belgium)">Catholic Party</a>. At the end of the century, the new fraction of Christian democrats shifted the focus of the party slightly to the left. In the interwar years the party was renamed <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Party_(Belgium)" title="Catholic Party (Belgium)">Catholic Bloc</a>. Then, the <a href="/wiki/Christian_Social_Party_(Belgium,_defunct)" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian Social Party (Belgium, defunct)">Christian Social Party</a> (PSC-CVP) existed from 1945 until 1968. In 1968, the PSC-CVP was split into the French-speaking Christian Social Party (PSC, now <a href="/wiki/Les_Engag%C3%A9s_(political_party)" title="Les Engagés (political party)">Les Engagés</a>) and Flemish Christian People's Party (Christelijke Volkspartij CVP).<sup id="cite_ref-Lamberts1997_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lamberts1997-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Caramani2004_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Caramani2004-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2001 the CVP changed its name to the CD&V. </p><p>The party was almost continually in power from its establishment until 1999, with the exception of 1954–1958. In 1999, the <a href="/wiki/Open_Vlaamse_Liberalen_en_Democraten" class="mw-redirect" title="Open Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten">Flemish Liberals and Democrats</a> (VLD) became the largest party in Belgium, and formed a majority <a href="/wiki/Purple_(government)" class="mw-redirect" title="Purple (government)">purple government</a> of liberals, social democrats and greens. The same happened in the Flemish Government, but with the addition of Flemish nationalists. In 2003 CD&V again lost the federal elections which continued the federal centre-left coalition, but this time without the Greens. </p><p>In 2004, Flemish elections were held and the CD&V once more became the largest political party by representation in the Flemish Parliament. <a href="/wiki/Yves_Leterme" title="Yves Leterme">Yves Leterme</a> became Flemish minister-president. After successful local elections in 2006, the party became the largest party in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives after the <a href="/wiki/2007_Belgian_general_election" class="mw-redirect" title="2007 Belgian general election">federal elections of 2007</a>. The CD&V led the subsequent coalition talks, which repeatedly stalled (see <a href="/wiki/2007%E2%80%932008_Belgian_government_formation" title="2007–2008 Belgian government formation">2007–2008 Belgian government formation</a>). On the 20 March 2008, a new <a href="/wiki/Leterme_I_Government" title="Leterme I Government">federal government</a> was finally assembled, led by Yves Leterme. <a href="/wiki/Kris_Peeters" title="Kris Peeters">Kris Peeters</a> subsequently became the next minister-president of Flanders.

Afterwards, Yves Leterme led his <a href="/wiki/Leterme_II_Government" title="Leterme II Government">second government</a>. </p><p>In June 2009, <a href="/wiki/2009_Belgian_regional_elections" title="2009 Belgian regional elections">Flemish elections</a> were held and the CD&V remained the largest party of Flanders. <a href="/wiki/Kris_Peeters" title="Kris Peeters">Kris Peeters</a> stayed as <a href="/wiki/Minister-President_of_Flanders" title="Minister-President of Flanders">Flemish minister-president</a>. The party also remained the largest Flemish party in the European Parliament after the <a href="/wiki/2009_European_Parliament_election_in_Belgium" title="2009 European Parliament election in Belgium">2009 European elections</a>. </p><p>In 2010, the <a href="/wiki/Open_Vlaamse_Liberalen_en_Democraten" class="mw-redirect" title="Open Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten">Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats</a> (Open VLD) decided to step out of the federal coalition, consequently ending the government. The <a href="/wiki/2010_Belgian_general_election" class="mw-redirect" title="2010 Belgian general election">federal elections of 2010</a> resulted in a major loss of historic proportions for CD&V, largely due to votes lost to the Flemish-nationalist <a href="/wiki/New_Flemish_Alliance" title="New Flemish Alliance">New Flemish Alliance</a>. In the campaign, former prime minister <a href="/wiki/Yves_Leterme" title="Yves Leterme">Yves Leterme</a> took a subtle step aside as frontrunner of the party. The president of the party, <a href="/wiki/Marianne_Thyssen" title="Marianne Thyssen">Marianne Thyssen</a>, had pre-electorally stated that she was a candidate to become prime minister. </p><p>On 6 December 2011, the <a href="/wiki/Di_Rupo_Government" title="Di Rupo Government">Di Rupo Government</a> was formed, with the CD&V as the largest Flemish party. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/2012_Belgian_provincial_and_municipal_elections" class="mw-redirect" title="2012 Belgian provincial and municipal elections">local elections in 2012</a>, CD&V managed to remain the largest Flemish party on the local level.
