AMSTERDAM - The Dutch government will lose its majority in the Senate after provincial elections on Wednesday, according to exit polls, as voters flocked to a new populist party two days after a possible terrorist attack in the city of Utrecht.
The exit poll conducted by research firm Ipsos on behalf of national broadcaster NOS showed the new Forum for Democracy will become the second-largest party in the Senate - after Rutte’s conservative VVD Party - in its first try. The exit poll forecast Rutte’s VVD will fall to 12 from 13 seats in the 75-member Senate, and his coalition as a whole will fall from 38 seats to 31 seats. The Forum for Democracy is estimated to take 10 seats. Final results will be published by the country’s Electoral Council on March 25.
