Early general elections were held in the Netherlands on 29 October 2025 to elect the members of the House of Representatives. The elections had been expected to be held in 2028, but a snap election was called after the Schoof cabinet collapsed due to the Party for Freedom (PVV) withdrawing from the coalition. The margin of votes and seats between the winning and second placed parties, Democrats 66 (D66) and PVV, was the smallest since the size of Parliament was last enlarged in 1956.
The social liberal D66 and the right-wing populist PVV ended up jointly being the largest parties, each winning 26 seats in the House. D66 achieved their best-ever result in a general election. The parties that were part of the Schoof cabinet—the PVV, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), New Social Contract (NSC), and the Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB)—all lost seats, with NSC losing all 20 of their seats. The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) and JA21 made significant gains, with the CDA gaining 13 seats and JA21 gaining 8.
