The 20th Bundestag is the largest in history with 735 members, 137 seats larger than its minimum size of 598. Originally, it had 736 and comprised 206 members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), 197 members of the CDU/CSU, 118 members of Alliance 90/The Greens (GRÜNE), 92 members of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), 83 members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and 39 members of The Left (LINKE), as well as one member of the South Schleswig Voters' Association, who sits as a non-attached member.^[2]

Matthias Helferich, who was elected for the AfD, withdrew from its parliamentary faction before the first session of the Bundestag.^[3] Deputies Johannes Huber and Uwe Witt also left in December 2021.^[4] Robert Farle quit the AfD faction in September 2022,^[5] as did Joana Cotar who also resigned from her former party in November.^[6] Thomas Lütze defected from LINKE to the SPD in October 2023,^[7] as did Sahra Wagenknecht, Amira Mohamed Ali, and eight others who joined Wagenknecht's namesake faction Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) while staying in the LINKE seats.^[8] The LINKE group dissolved on 6 December after announcing earlier in November that it could no longer form a parliamentary faction for falling below the 37-member minimum.^[9] As a result, the AfD and SPD groups consist of 78 and 207 members respectively.^[10] The BSW was officially founded as a party on 8 January 2024.^[11][12] After the decision to dissolve the LINKE faction, the 28 remaining members of their party applied for and received group status on 2 February 2024. The ten members from the BSW, who had previously left LINKE, were also recognized as a group on the same day.^[13]

Due to irregularities in the 2021 federal election in Berlin, there was a partial repeat of the election on 11 February 2024 in around 20% of the capital's electoral districts. With lost votes and lower voter turnout, there was a shift in mandates between the state associations of the SPD, GRÜNE, and LINKE, and the FDP lost a leveling seat, meaning that only 735 Bundestag members, of whom 91 are FDP, now sit.^[14] The mandate changes were carried out by a Council of Elders resolution on 4 March.^[15][16]

The President of the Bundestag is Bärbel Bas (SPD).^[17]
