Rob Jetten’s Liberals and Geert Wilders’ Far Right Battle to Win Dutch Election
The centrist D66 and the anti-migration Freedom Party are fighting for the top spot in a nail-biting vote in the Netherlands, according to exit polls.
Rob Jetten’s liberal D66 party and far-right firebrand Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party are neck and neck, with D66 on track to get 27 seats and Wilders’ PVV close behind with 25 seats, according to the key exit survey by Ipsos I&O.
Led by 38-year-old former climate minister Jetten, D66 has surged in recent weeks with its pro-EU climate-focused agenda, positioning itself as a moderate alternative to Wilders’ far right and traditional conservatives.
The center-right liberals of the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) are projected to come third with 23 seats.
