Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election has yielded significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten emerging as a major winner, while lefty leader Frans Timmermans faced a disappointing outcome. The far-right figurehead Geert Wilders also played a crucial role in the election.
After two years of political instability, the Dutch aimed to move forward with Wednesday's election. However, the country remains deeply divided, with the top two parties, 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 gets the first opportunity to form a coalition, and its leader is 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 coming weeks unpredictable.
Author's summary: Dutch election yields divided results.
- Winners: Liberal leader Rob Jetten and D66 party
- Losers: Lefty leader Frans Timmermans
- Far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) emerges as second-largest party
