Netherlands Votes Centrist Party to Power as Far-Right Loses Ground
The Dutch general election has delivered a decisive victory to the centrist D66 party, with exit polls predicting a landslide win for leader Rob Jetten. This result could mark a significant shift in Dutch politics, potentially making Jetten the country's youngest ever prime minister.
On the other hand, far-right leader Geert Wilders' Freedom Party suffered a disappointing outcome, failing to replicate its success from the 2023 election. Wilders expressed his disappointment at the party's poor showing, while Wilders' own prospects of becoming prime minister appear increasingly slim.
The Dutch Greens Labour party also faced a setback, with its leader announcing their decision to step down in response to a lacklustre election performance. The outcome of this election is likely to have far-reaching implications for the country's politics and future direction.
