The CSU party met for talks at their headquarters in Munich on Monday, to discuss Sunday's state election results, in which they saw big losses and ceded their absolute majority in the local parliament.
German Interior Minister and Head of the CSU Horst Seehofer and Minister President of Bavaria Markus Soeder talked with other CSU politicians for nearly six hours, before meeting media representatives for a short Q&A.
Seehofer explained that the session was a first round of analysis. He declined to comment on possible personnel changes and said that exploratory talks and the forming of a government are "a priority."
Soeder said that the Free Voters party is the CSU's preference for a coalition partner, but talks will be held with others as well, including the Green Party.
On Sunday, the CSU lost just over 10 percent of their vote-share, compared with 2013 numbers, and are now sitting on 37 percent at the Bavarian Parliament. The CSU is Chancellor Angela Merkel's sister party.
