Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Rob Jetten, leader of the Dutch centrist-liberal D66 party, is likely to become the next prime minister of the Netherlands.
The election hasn't been declared final, but analysis shows that the second-place Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, can't win. Wilders is a far-right, anti-Muslim candidate. D66 is 15,155 votes ahead of the Freedom party with 99.7% of votes counted.
As of Thursday, the vote was essentially tied, but D66 surged ahead.
Wilders complained that news analysis has decided the result so far and not the election council. "What arrogance not to wait for that," the BBC reported. He has also claimed election tampering, posting on X: "No idea if all of this is true but it would be good if this were investigated."
