US EditionDutch right-wing leader Wilders says voters should decide on his future in government
The Party for Freedom is projected to win 26 of 150 seats but faces coalition barriers as other leaders reject cooperation, Ipsos poll shows.
- On Saturday, an Ipsos poll showed the PVV ahead by a smaller margin and projected 26 seats in the 150-seat Lower House before the October 29, 2025 election.
- Wilders campaigns on stopping asylum migration and said at an October 25, 2025 meet-and-greet in Volendam, Netherlands, that `The voter is in charge, not the other parties,` reflecting his support.
- The survey details show the Green/Labour combination, D66, and Christian Democrats were projected to win between 20 and 23 seats, with a poll error margin of two seats.
- Party leaders have said other main party leaders ruled out coalitions with Wilders, making government formation depend on the outcome and his chances to become prime minister look small.
- Wilders urged supporters at the Volendam event to vote and not be demoralised, while opponents warned that winning the election does not guarantee joining government or becoming prime minister.
