The center-left Democrats 66 party won the Dutch election, on track to nearly triple its presence in parliament and dealing a major blow to the anti-migrant, populist party of Geert Wilders.
Rob Jetten’s D66 leads the far-right Freedom Party by 15,155 ballots with 99.7% of the vote counted, according to the state broadcaster NOS. Both parties are set to win 26 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives.
