The Hague,Netherlands – November 20,2025 – Meaningful changes are underway in the Dutch Parliament (Tweede Kamer),with Martin Bosma of the Party for Freedom (PVV) relinquishing his role as Speaker of the House.This follows a contested election earlier this week where he was defeated by VVD (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy) member Tineke van Campen after three rounds of voting. Bosma had previously served as Vice-Chairman of the House for many years representing the PVV.

Alongside the election of Van Campen,a new executive board for the House of Representatives has been established. In addition to Geert Wilders (PVV) and Dion Paulusma, the board now includes:
* Marjolein Moorman (GroenLinks-PvdA)
* Harmen Krul (CDA – Christian Democratic Appeal)
* Joost Eerdmans (JA21)
* Ingrid Michon-Derkzen (VVD)
The formation of this new executive board reflects the diverse political landscape of the current Parliament and signals a collaborative approach to parliamentary governance. The board is responsible for the smooth functioning of the House, including agenda setting, procedural matters, and representing the Parliament in external relations.
The election of Van Campen and the composition of the new executive board are being closely watched as indicators of the direction the Parliament will take in the coming years.Political analysts suggest these changes could influence the legislative agenda and the dynamics of debate within the Tweede Kamer.
