Dutch centrist Rob Jetten wins neck-and-neck election race, vote analysis says

# The Dutch centrist liberal party of Rob Jetten has won Wednesday’s neck-and-neck election race, according to vote analysis indicating it cannot be beaten by anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders. Jetten’s D66 currently has a narrow lead of 15-thousand votes over Wilders’ Freedom Party, and Dutch news agency ANP says even though the vote count is not complete, Wilders can no longer win. The 28-year-old Jetten said he was “very proud of this historic result”, adding that he now had a great responsibility to form a stable government.
