In the Ipsos/I&O exit poll, D66 emerged as the largest party with 27 seats. Geert Wilders’ PVV follows with two fewer seats. This is a provisional result, the actual result may still differ.

Just behind the two frontrunners is the VVD with 23 seats, which will lose one compared to 2023. For GroenLinks-PvdA the result will feel like a disappointment, Timmermans’ party has 20 seats in the provisional forecast. The CDA is back and will climb from five seats in 2023 to 19 seats in the exit poll.

The big loser of the elections is the NSC, which had twenty seats in the previous elections, but seems to be losing them all. Other big winners are JA21 with nine seats (plus 8) and FVD with six seats (plus 3). In the provisional results, 50 plus seems to be returning to the House of Representatives, the party has two seats in the exit poll.
