- The 38-year-old Rob Jetten was sworn in on Monday by King Willem-Alexander at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague.
- D66 will provide seven ministers, the VVD six and the CDA five, with three state secretaries each as junior cabinet members.
- The coalition plans to reduce asylum numbers by requiring refugees to apply outside Europe rather than after arrival.
- Geert Wilders pledged to oppose Jetten's initiatives, and opposition leader Jesse Klaver said the government's financial proposals would make ordinary people pay hundreds more while the very richest pay nothing extra.
Ordinary people will pay hundreds of Euros more, while the very richest won't be asked to pay anything extra. That's unfair and won't help the Netherlands move forward. We take responsibility for adjusting these plans. This has to change.— Jesse Klaver, leader of the GreenLeft-Labour coalition, posted on X.

- The social-liberal centrist party D66 has secured a decisive parliamentary win over Geert Wilders’ PVV in the Netherlands.
- Rob Jetten, leader of D66, is now the frontrunner to become the next Prime Minister.
- The PVV suffered a substantial loss from 37 seats in 2023 to 26 this election, while D66 is projected to hold 27 seats.
- The snap election was called after Wilders dissolved the previous coalition due to disagreements on asylum policy.
We have played through various scenarios. Even if Venray (the only district not counted, editor's note) were to vote overwhelmingly for the PVV, D66 and the PVV would be neck and neck like never before. Our analysis of the mail-in voters from the last election shows that the PVV cannot win even then.— Mark Westerhoff, head of the ANP election service, discussing the election analysis and the impossibility of a PVV victory.
