Dutch election: Voters select new leaders in neck-and-neck race

• Voters select new leaders in a neck-and-neck race to lead the country.
• Dilan Yesilgöz is predicted to become the first female Dutch prime minister.
• She faces a tight race with anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders.

Dutch voters will decide on Wednesday among four front-runners to lead the country into a new political era.

Centre-right leader Dilan Yesilgöz is predicted to become the first female Dutch prime minister, but she faces a tight race with anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders and a left alliance led by former top-ranking EU commissioner Frans Timmermans.

The election is closely watched as the winner may secure less than 20% of the national vote and fewer than 30 seats in the 150-seat parliament with more than 13 million voters choosing from 26 parties.

Trust in the government is low after a welfare scandal, and a new party led by Pieter Omtzigt may be central to forming the next coalition government. The Netherlands’ migration levels and high cost of living are key issues in the election.
