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.
Notably, far-right figurehead Geert Wilders also played a crucial role in the election. Following two years of political instability, the Dutch population sought change in the recent seismic 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, particularly since mainstream parties are reluctant to collaborate with Wilders.
Despite this, if coalition talks fail, other parties may attempt to form a government, rendering the coming weeks unpredictable.
