Overview
- D66, CDA and VVD agreed to form a minority cabinet with 66 of 150 lower-house seats, short of a majority.
- The coalition also lacks a Senate majority, meaning it must negotiate with opposition parties to pass legislation.
- Party leaders said the full agreement will be presented Friday, with MPs expected to confirm the pact in the coming days.
- Ministers could be sworn in as early as mid-February if the deal is ratified and formalities are completed.
- D66 leader Rob Jetten, 38, is poised to become the youngest and first openly gay Dutch prime minister, and he cited affordable housing, migration control and defense investment as priorities.
