Amsterdam, 27 March, 2021 (TON): On Friday, the Dutch Election Council published the results that included 34 out of 150 seats for the VVD in the House of Representatives that made the party biggest to win for the fourth time in a row.
The centre-left liberal Democrats 66 (D66) party led by Sigrid Kaag finished second with 24 seats.
As a result of the elections that took place on 15-17 March, the turnout was 78.7 per cent, compared to 81.9 per cent in 2017, as 10,462,677 of the 13,293,081 eligible Dutch people cast their vote.
However, the government stepped down on 15 January as a result of the so-called child benefits scandal, in which parents were wrongly accused of fraud.
Following the announcement of the preliminary election results, the two biggest parties (VVD and D66) started the coalition formation process.
