The Dutch election saw significant results, with Liberal leader Rob Jetten achieving a major victory, while left-wing leader Frans Timmermans faced a disastrous outcome.
The country remains divided, with centrist liberal D66 and far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) finishing first and second, despite being sworn enemies.
Rob Jetten cast himself as a foil to PVV firebrand Geert Wilders, with Wilders stating he "basically disagrees with everything [Jetten] says."
According to Dutch convention, the largest party will have the first opportunity to form a coalition, with its leader likely to become prime minister, currently favoring Jetten.
However, if coalition talks fail, other parties may attempt to form a government, making the coming weeks unpredictable.
