Overview
- With roughly 99% of votes counted, PVV and D66 are each on about 26 of 150 seats, with final tallies pending as Amsterdam and overseas ballots are still being added.
- The outcome marks a sharp swing from 2023, with PVV dropping from 37 seats to about 26 as D66 jumps from 9 to roughly 26.
- All major parties ruled out working with PVV before the vote, positioning Jetten as the frontrunner to try to form a government.
- Parliament remains highly fragmented, with about 15 parties expected to enter; VVD is projected on 22 seats, GroenLinks‑PvdA on 20 after Frans Timmermans resigned, and the CDA on 18.
- The right remains sizable as Forum voor Democratie and JA21 posted gains, adding complexity to the coming coalition negotiations.
