According to an exit poll by research firm Ipsos, commissioned by the NIS, the VVD remains the largest party with 35 seats, 2 more than in the previous Dutch parliamentary elections. D66 becomes the second party in the poll with 27 seats, a win of eight seats. That is the best result ever for the party.
The PVV, the largest opposition party to this day, won 17 seats, according to the exit poll, a loss of 3 compared to four years ago. This is followed by the CDA with 14 seats (-5).
Follow at a greater distance than the PvdA, which with 9 seats would remain unchanged, GroenLinks with 8 (-6), the SP with also 8 (-6). Forum for Democracy wins five seats and comes in at 7, according to the exit poll. The Party for the Animals stands at 6 seats (+1) in the poll.
The pan-European party Volt won 4 seats on its debut in the House of Representatives. The same number will reach the Christian Union, which would lose one seat.

The Governing coalition (VVD+D66+CDA+CU) is centrist. The primary opposition (PVV is right-wing/nationalist). 76 seats are needed for a majority.
