ANKARA (AA) – The final official results of parliamentary elections in the Netherlands confirmed the far-right leader Geert Wilders' win, according to local media.
The Dutch electoral council announced the results on Friday, confirming the exit polls of Nov. 22, the NL Times reported.
Geert Wilders' far-right Islamophobic Party for Freedom (PVV) came as the primary party with 37 seats, followed by GroenLinks-PvdA with 25 seats, a coalition led by former European commissioner Frans Timmermans.
Outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte's People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VDD) recorded a significant loss with 24 seats.
Two other parties, NSC and D66, got 20 and 9 seats, respectively.
Over 10.4 million voters cast their votes last week to elect 150-seat parliament members.
