Dutch centrist liberals under Jetten head for shock election win, exit poll says

Centrist liberals under Rob Jetten were poised for a shock win in the Dutch election, with an Ipsos I&O exit poll giving D66 27 seats—two ahead of Geert Wilders’ PVV. Wilders conceded victory, as a second exit poll confirmed the projection. At a music venue in Leiden, D66 supporters chanted "yes, we can" while Jetten, tipped to become the youngest modern Dutch prime minister, hailed his party’s best-ever result and promised a broad, "stable and ambitious" coalition. VVD looked set for third, CDA surged, and Frans Timmermans’s GreenLeft-Labour slumped to fourth amid voter focus on housing shortages.
