Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party and the progressive Democrats 66 party are on track to finish first in the Dutch parliamentary election Wednesday, according to an Ipsos I&O exit poll.
The two parties are projected to finish within the margin of error, with the D66 poised to get 27 seats and the Freedom Party set to get 25, according to the poll. More clarity on the outcome is expected later Wednesday when provisional results will be released.
