ANP Projects D66 First in Dutch Vote, Jetten Poised to Lead Coalition Talks

Final results await one district and overseas ballots, with a narrow centrist lead setting up complex bargaining in a 150-seat parliament.

Overview

  • Dutch news agency ANP estimates D66 leads PVV by 15,155 votes with expatriate and mail-in ballots still being counted.
  • Overseas ballots, which have trended more centrist or left, are being tallied in The Hague with outcomes not expected before Monday night.
  • With about 26 seats projected, D66 must assemble partners to reach the 76-seat majority, with VVD, CDA and GreenLeft/Labour floated as options.
  • Parliament is set to appoint an initial negotiator on Tuesday to sound out coalition possibilities in the fragmented chamber.
  • Geert Wilders acknowledged a poorer result as PVV loses seats versus 2023, and if confirmed Rob Jetten, 38, would be the youngest and first openly gay Dutch prime minister.
