"The Dutch people have chosen progress, dialogue, and hope over division and fear,” Jetten said in his victory speech in The Hague.
The election marks a turning point in Dutch politics, weakening the far-right wave that dominated previous years.
Wilders’ PVV, known for its anti-immigration and anti-Islam rhetoric, lost significant ground, signaling that many voters are ready to move toward policies focused on cooperation, climate action, and economic reform.
Political observers note that the results mirror a wider European trend in which centrist and liberal parties are regaining influence after years of populist rise.
With no single party achieving an outright majority, D66 will now lead efforts to form a coalition government, likely in partnership with the Labour Party (PvdA) and GreenLeft (GroenLinks).
These talks are expected to focus on social welfare, housing, and sustainability — areas where Jetten’s progressive agenda aligns closely with left-leaning parties.
Analysts expect coalition talks to be lengthy but constructive, as the Dutch political system values compromise and consensus.
At just 38 years old, Rob Jetten is set to become the youngest and first openly gay Prime Minister in Dutch history — a milestone for equality and representation.
His victory reflects a changing society that embraces diversity and modern leadership.
The 2025 election outcome not only ends years of far-right momentum but also redefines the Netherlands’ political direction toward unity, innovation, and international cooperation.
As D66 takes the lead in forming the next government, many Dutch citizens — and observers across Europe — are watching closely to see if this new centrist coalition can deliver the stability and progress voters have demanded.
