The article reports on the results of the Dutch parliamentary election held on October 30, 2025. The far-right PVV party of anti-immigration firebrand Geert Wilders is narrowly ahead of the centrist D66 with 99.6% votes counted. However, the difference between the two parties is just under 1,400 votes, and many more are still yet to be counted.
The article notes that it symbolically matters whether PVV or D66 will come out on top but suggests that the centrist party with their charismatic leader, Rob Jetten, is likely to lead the talks to form the next government. All major mainstream parties have ruled out governing with Wilders after he brought down the last coalition led by his PVV.
The article mentions that the coalition talks are widely expected to take months before the new administration emerges and that the official announcement of the final result is expected next week. It also quotes outgoing Prime Minister Dick Schoof, who hopes the coalition talks will be wrapped up by August next year.
Overall, the article provides a detailed overview of the Dutch parliamentary election results and the implications for the formation of the next government.

It'll be interesting to see how things shake out in the end - will Wilders finally get his chance at power? Or will he remain on the periphery of politics forever? Only time (and more votes) will tell

 . I mean, Geert Wilders and his party have been making waves for years now but their anti-immigration policies are super divisive. I think it's time we see more parties coming together to form a government that truly represents the Dutch people

I think it's kinda interesting that Rob Jetten from D66 is being considered for the lead role, he seems like a more down-to-earth guy than Wilders. But honestly, whoever leads the coalition talks next, I hope they can get something done about those congestion charges in Amsterdam
