House of Representatives elections in the Netherlands
Early House of Representatives elections have been held in the Netherlands due to the shortening of the term of office of the House of Representatives elected in March 2021. Parliament was dissolved after the fall of Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s government. The coalition partners failed to reach an agreement on the growing immigrant problem.
If Wednesday’s election results are confirmed, it will be the PVV’s best result ever. “No party can ignore us any longer after we gained 35 seats in parliament,” Geert Wilders said on election night. Before the elections, many formations announced that they would not enter into a coalition with the Freedom Party.
