Elections in the Netherlands: VVD remains largest party in exit po …

After the polling stations in the Netherlands closed at 9 p.m., the exit poll shows that the VVD remains the largest party, with 35 seats in the Dutch House of Representatives. The strongest climber is D66. It will be the second party with 27 seats, a profit of no less than eight seats.

From an exit poll from research agency Ipsos, commissioned by the Dutch broadcaster U.S, it appears that Dutch confidence in the ruling right-wing liberal party VVD has not been badly damaged by the scandal as a result of which the government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte (VVD) resigned. The party even got two more seats than in the previous parliamentary elections.

The social democratic PvdA remains stable at nine seats. The left-liberal ruling party D66 is getting a boost, and has no fewer than eight seats more than four years ago, 27 in total. The Christian Democratic ruling party CDA loses five and fourteen seats.

Geert Wilders’ opposition-led, far-right PVV will receive seventeen seats, a loss of three, according to the exit poll. Thierry Baudet’s right-wing populist party, Forum for Democracy, wins five seats and finishes at seven.

U.S reports that there are still long queues of voters waiting at the polling stations, although they would close at 9 pm. According to the Electoral Council, anyone who was ‘in or at the entrance’ of the polling station before closing time is still allowed to vote. The turnout would be 81 percent, according to preliminary estimates, about the same as four years ago.

The Ipsos exit poll is a poll of people who voted and left the polling station. It is therefore not an official result. Certainly this year, now that the corona measures have been voted over several days and with letters, the result may differ by up to two seats from the exit poll, estimate U.S.
