“Congratulations to Geert Wilders who has won the 2023 General Election in the Netherlands to become the new Dutch Prime Minister,” wrote one Facebook Page (archived).
Other Facebook posts (archived) said Wilders was “elected Prime Minister”, which, as of Nov. 28, is not the case.
Wilders won the most seats for his Freedom Party (PVV) in the Nov. 22 election and now seeks to form a government with himself as leader.
Dutch coalition talks usually take months and parties’ positions and willingness to work with each other can evolve over time, Reuters reported.
Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders won the most seats in the Nov. 22 election but must first form a coalition, which could take months, to be prime minister.
