flag Dutch center parties form minority government post-2025 election, relying on ad hoc support.

flag Dutch political leaders from D66, CDA, and VVD have agreed to form a minority coalition government after the October 2025 elections, marking a rare shift from the country’s usual majority rule. flag The three parties hold 66 of 150 seats in the lower house, falling short of a majority, and will rely on ad hoc support from other parties to pass legislation. flag The coalition, led by D66’s Rob Jetten, aims to govern through flexible, issue-based cooperation rather than formal alliances, reflecting a fragmented political landscape. flag The move follows the rejection of partnerships with far-right and left-wing parties, including JA21 and GroenLinks-PvdA, due to ideological concerns. flag The new government will face challenges in maintaining stability and advancing policy, particularly on economic and EU-related issues, amid ongoing negotiations and potential parliamentary volatility.
