Dutch Election Promises to be a Nail-Biter
With one day to go before the Netherlands elects a new parliament, three parties are expected to win 23 seats each.
Heading into the final stretch, the country’s far right, center left, and liberals are neck-and-neck in the polls.
The Netherlands is returning to the ballot box to choose a new parliament following the collapse of the government in June.
One day before the polls open, the winner is anyone’s guess.
- Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party (PVV)
- Frans Timmermans’ left-wing GreenLeft-Labor (GL-PVDA)
- Rob Jetten’s liberal D66
Each party is on track to win 23 seats, according to the last Ipsos I&O poll before the Dutch cast their votes on Wednesday.
The numbers reveal highly volatile voter support, with undecided voters likely to play a decisive role.
