Dutch Election 2025: Winners and Losers
The Dutch election saw significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten having a successful night, while lefty leader Frans Timmermans faced a disaster.
Far-right figurehead Geert Wilders also played a key role in the election. After two years of infighting and political paralysis, the Dutch aimed to move forward with Wednesday's election.
However, the country remains 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 gets the first chance to form a coalition, and its leader is likely to become prime minister, currently favoring Jetten.
As no mainstream party wants to collaborate with Wilders, Jetten's position seems secure, but the coming weeks remain unpredictable if talks fail.

- Rob Jetten: potential prime minister
