This makes it possible to competition for Van Vroonhoven, which leads the party that is ruined in the polls to a maximum of two seats. Within the party, it is doubted whether she is the right woman in the right place, now that she has taken over from the left party foreman Pieter Omtzigt.

‘Egg to lay’

Van Vroonhoven himself also fog about her ambitions. On Tuesday she said she is not sure yet whether she wants to be the leader of NSC in the upcoming elections. The party leader said a month and a half ago that she would light her finger, but now doubts. “I am currently laying my egg.”

Can Boomsma save NSC?

It is hoped that Boomsma could possibly let the party flourish. The socio-conservative MP has been striking for a long time: among other things as a spokesperson in the field of (stricter) asylum and migration policy, but rather also in nitrogen and spatial planning, he managed to give the party Smoel as a talented MP.

File freeter in Amsterdam

Boomsma was successful for a long time successful party chairman of the CDA in Amsterdam and turned out to be a file eater that managed to embarrass the Kneiterlink city council, partly because of his non-reversing battle around leaseholds. Within the CDA, it was also bothered that Boomsma was chessed by the party of former party leader Pieter Omtzigt and was on the list.

Party board can nominate Boomsma

Boomsma, who was still crowned in 2022 as the best municipal councilor in the Netherlands, does depend on the party board of NSC and the members. The NSC board sets up a committee that will discuss people who report for the new list of candidates and any party leader. The final list, including the number 1, is then presented to the members. If someone still wants to put himself as an alternative party leader, you can. But that person must receive support from 10 percent of the members for this. NSC had nearly 8,000 members at the beginning of this year.

If Boomsma actually lights up his finger, the party board will be able to nominate him and may arise a party leader election with Van Vroonhoven.

‘Honored and grateful’

Boomsma, who has graduated in art history, environmental sciences, ecology and nature management and in Leiden the promotion of legal philosophy, says in a response to the Telegraaf that he is ‘worshiped and grateful’ that he is being tipped as a candidate leader. Furthermore, he can ‘not go into content now’.
