Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election saw significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten achieving a major victory, while left-wing leader Frans Timmermans faced a disappointing outcome. Meanwhile, far-right figurehead Geert Wilders' performance was notable.
After two years of political instability, the Dutch attempted 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.
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 negotiations fail, other parties may attempt to form a coalition, making the coming weeks unpredictable.

- Winners: Liberal leader Rob Jetten and centrist liberal D66
