Centrist D66 party makes huge gains in Dutch election.
30 October 2025
The D66 party's gains likely give it the lead in government formation as the party of far-right leader Geert Wilders lost support.
It was a sharp fall for Wilders from a record in 2023, while D66 made the biggest gains and almost tripled its seats.
The result opens a path for D66 leader Rob Jetten to become the youngest ever PM of the Netherlands.
