Overview

  • Dutch agency ANP projects D66 narrowly ahead of Geert Wilders’ PVV after nearly all ballots were tallied.
  • The margin stands at about 15,155 votes as postal and expatriate ballots are counted in The Hague, with final results expected no earlier than Monday night.
  • As the largest party, D66 will take the first step toward assembling a 76‑seat majority through multi‑party talks, with Parliament set to appoint a negotiating scout on Tuesday.
  • Preliminary seat counts place D66 around 26 seats, VVD at 22, CDA at 18, and the GroenLinks/Labour alliance at 20, with uncertainty over VVD cooperation with the left bloc.
  • If confirmed as prime minister, Rob Jetten, 38, would be the youngest and the first openly gay leader of the Netherlands; he publicly thanked his partner, Argentine hockey international Nicolás Keenan, after the projection.
