“A center-left party and the far-right party of Geert Wilders were projected on Thursday morning to each win the same number of legislative seats in the Dutch election, according to the official count reported by the Dutch newswire ANP, a result that offered a strong rebuke to Mr. Wilders’s party. The center-left Democrats 66, a socially progressive party with a centrist economic policy, had appeared likely to be the largest party when exit polls reported on Wednesday night. By Thursday morning, with nearly all counting completed, ANP reported a lead of a just over a thousand votes nationwide fluctuating between the center-left party, known as D66, and Mr. Wilders’s Party for Freedom.” (10/30/25)
