Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s party remains largest in Dutch elections, but left-liberal D66 wins sharply

That was also expected in the polls, but has now been confirmed, albeit only in the exit polls. This time, however, the elderly could vote by post and the margin of error for exit polls could therefore be greater than in the past. In the course of the evening it should become clear whether the real results follow those exit polls.

Mark Rutte’s VVD would therefore win two or three seats and tower far above the rest with 35 or 36. If this trend is confirmed, it is almost certain that Rutte will remain at the top, but the question is with whom he can and will form a coalition.
