CNN —Dutch voters cast their ballots on Wednesday in a nail-biting election in which opinion polls show at least three parties - including the far right -could hope for the top spot.
”I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow and we have Wilders as a prime minister.
Mark Rutte will be leaving the post of prime minister after 13 years.
A hard-right coalition could also soften plans to reduce livestock and fertilizer use, which are strongly opposed by farmers.
Rutte will remain in a caretaker role until a new government is installed, likely in the first half of 2024.
