The Netherlands is set to get its first openly gay prime minister, Rob Jetten, following strong results in the country’s recent election, which saw his party gain 17 seats, and Geert Wilders’ far-right party lose 11.

Jetten, who is the leader of the Democrats 66 (D66), hasn’t made his sexuality a focus of his campaign, instead emphasising his mission for positive change.
Following his party’s strong performance in the election on Wednesday (29 October), the 38-year-old is set to become the Netherlands’ youngest and first openly gay prime minister.

Jetten’s campaign has been successful partly due to a surge in advertising that has pushed a message of “yes, we can”, enabling the party to focus on divisive issues such as immigration and the housing crisis.

As part of the party’s image transformation, Jetten challenged far-right leader Geert Wilders, hitting out at him for only standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in a bid to villainise Muslims.

On election day he took to Instagram to share a positive message for his supporters: “Today we determine the course of our country. Either we keep hanging in grudge and stagnation, or together turn the page on Wilders. I believe in a Netherlands that wants to move forward. That big dares to dream, hold each other together, and chooses hope, cooperation and solutions. Go vote because together we’ll show: it’s possible.”
