Who’s the next potential Dutch PM?
After a strong showing in Wednesday’s election, Rob Jetten, the leader of the centrist liberal D66 party, could become the country’s youngest prime minister, Euronews writes.
With 98% of the vote counted, the 38-year-old’s party is projected to win 26 seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament, an increase of 11 from the previous election.
As of Thursday morning, D66 were neck-and-neck with Geert Wilders’ far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), who are also projected to gain 26 seats.
While Jetten is tipped to become prime minister, Wilders has said his party will “do everything” to prevent D66 from taking the lead in coalition talks, as long as it remains unclear who the biggest party is.
