Overview
- Preliminary results put D66 and the PVV on 26 seats each, with D66 now about 15,000 votes ahead after updated tallies from Amsterdam.
- The decisive overseas and postal ballots, estimated at roughly 90,000 and processed by The Hague, are expected Monday night with official certification on Tuesday.
- Amsterdam’s two-stage central recount continues, with tens of thousands of local votes still being processed and final city figures due Friday evening.
- Venray halted counting after a town-hall fire caused by an electrical fault but expects to report results Friday; Almere resolved a technical reporting failure and confirmed its final outcome, with PVV remaining largest locally despite losses.
- Speaker Martin Bosma moved the leaders’ meeting to Tuesday, and D66 backed the PVV request to delay appointing a scout, as results show strong D66 gains in urban areas and PVV holding many rural municipalities, including in Flevoland.
