D66, PVV Still Tied on 26 Seats as Leaders’ Talks Pushed to Tuesday

Overseas ballots processed in The Hague, expected no earlier than Monday, could decide which party finishes first.

Overview

  • With nearly all domestic votes counted, D66 holds a roughly 15,000‑vote edge even as both parties remain on 26 seats in provisional tallies.
  • The Hague expects to begin reporting about 90,000 overseas mail votes Monday evening, with the official brief‑vote result due Tuesday.
  • House Speaker Martin Bosma rescheduled consultations with party leaders to Tuesday to await clarity before designating a verkenner.
  • Amsterdam’s near‑complete count shows D66 far ahead locally, and remaining city ballots and preference counts are still being finalized.
  • Almere completed its tally after a technical outage delayed final updates, confirming PVV as the largest there despite losses compared to 2023.
