In a surprising turn from the Dutch elections, far-right leader Geert Wilders expressed disappointment over the performance of his Freedom Party. Exit polls indicated a possible loss from 28 to 25 seats, with centrist D66 poised to take the lead with 27 seats.
Wilders acknowledged the potential shift of power as D66, led by Rob Jetten, is expected to form the next government. The exit poll results suggest that the PVV, Wilders’ party, will not be part of the upcoming coalition.
Despite the setback, Wilders hinted at the potential for change, noting the error margin in exit polls. He firmly stated that if excluded, his party would serve as a robust opposition to the new government.
