An exit poll published immediately after voting ended in the Netherlands’s general election suggested the result is too close to call, with the centre-left D66 narrowly ahead of the far-right party of Geert Wilders.

The poll on Wednesday showed that D66 would win 27 seats, a rise of 18 compared to the 2023 election.
