Overview
- ANP reports D66 ahead of Geert Wilders’ PVV by about 15,000 votes, with both parties on 26 seats and a potential 27th for D66 once remaining votes are tallied.
- Overseas and residual local ballots are still being counted, but ANP’s analysis indicates PVV cannot overtake D66.
- Major parties have ruled out governing with Wilders, leaving him likely in opposition even if seat totals remain close.
- Forming a majority will require at least four parties in a 15‑party chamber, with VVD, CDA and the GroenLinks–PvdA alliance seen as key options.
- D66 jumps from 9 to roughly 26 seats, putting 38‑year‑old Rob Jetten on course to become the Netherlands’ youngest postwar prime minister.
