Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has announced that he will not be seeking the role of the Netherlands’ next prime minister despite his Party for Freedom winning the most votes in the previous national elections. Wilders was unable to secure enough coalition support to assume the position. He had been aiming to form a right-wing coalition government with other parties, emphasizing stricter immigration policies. It is now anticipated that a technical Cabinet will be formed, involving politicians and experts working closely with parliament. Although Wilders will not lead the government, he and his party are expected to continue to hold significant influence.
