[Opinion] BBB Member Leaves Senate Faction and Takes His Seat with Him: 'Complete Surprise'

This means that the coalition loses a seat in the Senate, where there was already no majority.

BBB First Chamber member Eric Kemperman suddenly left the BBB faction of the Senate on Monday. The reason is still unknown. He is taking his seat with him and is starting his own business. Faction chair Ilona Lagas does not understand what is going on: "He apparently likes a surprise."

Outgoing BBB senator Eric Kemperman has already reported the difference of opinion with his party internally. The member of the Senate explained this to the ANP. According to Kemperman, too little was done with these substantive objections, which led to his decision to leave the party and take his seat with him.

First Chamber member Eric Kemperman has decided to leave the BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB). He will retain his seat in the Senate and in the Gelderse Staten. "The BBB factions regret his decision, but have no choice but to accept his choice," the party's statement reads.
