Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election saw significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten having a successful night, while left-wing leader Frans Timmermans faced a disaster.
Far-right figurehead Geert Wilders also played a crucial role in the election. The country remains divided, with the top two parties, centrist liberal D66 and the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), being sworn enemies.
Rob Jetten cast himself as a foil to PVV firebrand Geert Wilders, and 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 favoring Jetten. However, the coming weeks remain unpredictable as coalition talks may fail, allowing other parties to attempt to form a government.
Author's summary: Dutch election results reveal a divided country.
- Winners: Liberal leader Rob Jetten and centrist liberal D66
- Losers: Left-wing leader Frans Timmermans
- Key player: Far-right figurehead Geert Wilders
