THE HAGUE, 18 March, 2021 (TON): The first exit polls released on Wednesday revealed the liberal party VVD of Prime Minister Mark Rutte led in the 2021 parliamentary elections in the Netherlands.

In the House of Representatives, the VVD won 35 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives.

The center-leftist party D66 came second with 27 seats, while the right-wing populist Party for Freedom (PVV) was projected to get 17 seats.

According to the exit poll, the three left-wing parties PvdA (Labor), SP (Socialist Party), and GroenLinks (GreenLeft) were forecast to get nine, eight, and eight seats respectively. The far-right anti-lockdown party Forum voor Democratie (Forum for Democracy) would win seven seats.

However, just as in 2017 VVD finished with 33 seats, the VVD is seemingly becoming the biggest party in the parliament.
