Far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) is projected to take 26 seats in Wednesday’s Dutch election, according to a poll conducted by Ipsos I&O Research, down from 29 in an earlier survey as the GreenLeft/Labour alliance narrows the gap.

GreenLeft/Labour, led by former European Commissioner Frans Timmermans, is seen taking 23 seats, according to Saturday’s poll. D66, a liberal-progressive party, was projected to win 22 seats, up four from an Oct. 16 poll.
