Rob Jetten’s liberals and Geert Wilders’ far right battle to win Dutch election

Dutch Election: D66 and Freedom Party Neck and Neck

The Dutch election has become a nail-biting vote, with Rob Jetten's liberal D66 party and Geert Wilders' far-right Freedom Party fighting for the top spot, according to exit polls.

Exit polls released on Wednesday night suggest that D66 is on track to get 27 seats, while Wilders' PVV is close behind with 25 seats, based on the key exit survey by Ipsos I&O.

Led by 38-year-old former climate minister Rob Jetten, D66 has surged in recent weeks, positioning itself as a moderate alternative to both Wilders' far right and traditional conservatives.
