We are very proud to present our joint lead candidate: Frans Timmermans! Frans has been elected as the lead candidate of GroenLinks-PvdA for the parliamentary elections on October 29, 2025.
Frans first reaction:
‘It is a great honor to lead our movement again. The upcoming elections have a lot at stake. After two years of standstill, it is our task to unite the social majority. The Netherlands must move forward again. We do this by strengthening what has been broken from a perspective of solidarity. People are longing for a fair Netherlands, for a safe world, for a livable future. That is what I will fight for in the coming months. Together with you. We need each other in the coming time. Because together we are strong! And together we will ensure that we can look to the future in the Netherlands with more hope and more optimism. Thank you very much for your support.’
Response from the board:
“We are incredibly looking forward to going into the elections with Frans. With his extensive political and administrative experience both domestically and internationally and with his strong green and social profile, he provides the leadership we need. In total, nearly twenty thousand members cast their votes. 78.7 percent of them voted for Frans Timmermans as the lead candidate of GroenLinks-PvdA for the parliamentary elections of 2025.”
