Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election has yielded significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten emerging victorious, while left-wing leader Frans Timmermans faced a disappointing outcome. Meanwhile, far-right figurehead Geert Wilders' performance has also been notable.
After two years of political instability, the Dutch attempted to shift their political landscape in Wednesday's election. However, the country remains deeply divided, with the top two parties, the centrist liberal D66 and the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), being sworn enemies.
Geert Wilders has said he "basically disagrees with everything [Jetten] says."
According to Dutch convention, the largest party is given the first opportunity to form a coalition, with its leader likely to become prime minister. Currently, this position seems to be held by Jetten, as no mainstream party is willing to collaborate with Wilders. Nevertheless, if coalition talks fail, other parties may attempt to form a government, making the upcoming weeks unpredictable.
