Based on the first exit polls, the Labor Party seems to win a seat in the Senate compared to four years ago, and this makes PvdA leader Attje Kuiken rejoice. Especially since the cooperation partner GroenLinks also makes a profit. ‘So it’s still very exciting if we can become the biggest.’
The prospect that the PvdA-GroenLinks partnership could eventually become the largest in the Senate gives Kuiken hope that he can rule the left. “We will only have clarity tomorrow, but the way is certainly open,” Kuiken told reporter Jigal Krant. “We really want a different course, for there to be equal sharing and for people to have the opportunities they deserve.”

According to Kuiken, the collaboration experiment was certainly a success. He believes both PvdA and GroenLinks are joining forces in a landscape “where there is less cooperation and more and more fragmentation”. “We are strongly expressing the social, progressive and green sound,” she concludes.
status quo
However, while the Left Bloc is making significant gains, BBB remains the biggest winner of the election. However, Kuiken isn’t afraid of the status quo. “It is very clear that several things have to happen if we still want to build and if we want to protect nature,” he continues. “At the same time, you have to look at what’s going to emerge — you don’t rule out the holidays beforehand.”
parliamentary elections
Kuiken therefore does not rule out a possible list connection for the parliamentary elections. He calls the results of the provincial elections “a good starting point”. “People here are going to think extensively about that as well.”
