The new People's
Chamber, the first that emerged from free elections, met for the first time on 5 April 1990. Among its first measures was an amendment to the constitution abolishing the State Council. As provided in the constitution, the Presidium of the People's Chamber, headed by President

However, from the start, the East German government was completely controlled by the SED, and over time its actual power structure grew closer to the model of the
