Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election saw significant outcomes for various parties, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten and lefty leader Frans Timmermans experiencing vastly different results.
After two years of infighting and political paralysis, the Dutch election aimed to bring change. However, the country remains divided, with centrist liberal D66 and far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) finishing first and second, respectively.
- D66 leader Rob Jetten positioned himself as a counterpart to PVV's Geert Wilders during his campaign.
- Geert Wilders stated that he "basically disagrees with everything [Jetten] says."
Geert Wilders: "I basically disagree with everything [Jetten] says."
According to Dutch convention, the largest party gets the first opportunity to form a coalition, with its leader likely becoming prime minister. Currently, this position seems to favor Jetten, as no mainstream party is willing to collaborate with Wilders.
