Result opens a path for D66 leader Rob Jetten to form a government as the youngest ever prime minister of the Netherlands
The centrist D66 party made huge gains in Dutch elections, likely giving it the lead in government formation as the party of far-right leader Geert Wilders lost support.
With 90% of the votes counted early on Thursday, D66 and Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) were both projected to take 26 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.
