Nationalist surge strips Dutch government of senate majority: exit poll

Thierry Baudet, the leader of the Forum for Democracy, has derided women, religious minorities and migrants

An anti-EU party is poised to become the second-largest party in the senate, according to an exit poll for provincial elections. Without a majority, the ruling government will need to reach out to other parties.

The Netherlands' governing coalition is poised to lose its majority in the upper house due to a surge in support for a far-right populist party during regional elections, according to an exit poll published by Dutch broadcaster NOS.

The vote took place days after a suspected gunman shot dead three people in the Dutch city of Utrecht.

Exit polls suggest:
  • The anti-EU Forum for Democracy will emerge as the second-strongest party
  • The Greens will double their seats
  • Prime Minister Mark Rutte's center-right coalition will lose its senate majority
