The progressive Democrats 66 party was on track to win the Dutch parliamentary election after voters dealt a blow to Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party and threw support behind mainstream political groups.
D66 was set to win 27 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, according to preliminary forecast published by ANP after 50% of votes were counted. The Freedom Party was poised to win 25, a loss of 12 seats.
