Centrist D66 party set to win most seats in Dutch election, exit poll suggests
Result would pave the way for the Netherlands’ first out gay prime minister and end far-right populist Geert Wilders’ time in power The liberal-progressive D66 party was on track to become the largest in the Dutch parliament, according to an exit poll, after a snap general election in which Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom party was seen losing a third of its seats. The poll, with a one- to two-seat margin of error, gave the centrist party an estimated 27 MPs in the 150-seat assembly, possibly clearing a path for its 38-year-old leader, Rob Jetten, to become the Netherlands’ youngest and first out gay prime minister.
