Explanatory debate
During the explanatory debate on Monday, March 23, 2026, the parties discussed what the election results mean for Uitgeest. Despite Onafhankelijk Uitgeest receiving the most votes, the other parties agreed that continuing the current coalition of Progressief Uitgeest, D66 Uitgeest, and CDA is the most logical option.
This coalition, like four years ago, holds a majority of 8 seats. The key positions of Onafhankelijk Uitgeest are considered too far removed from those of the other parties to form a stable coalition.
Progressief Uitgeest, D66 Uitgeest, and CDA are now in talks to draft a cooperation agreement. They will involve the other parties in the municipal council in this process. In this way, they aim to create an agreement with the broadest possible support.
