The centrist D66 and the anti-migration Freedom Party are fighting for the top spot in the Netherlands election, according to exit polls.
Rob Jetten's liberal D66 party and Geert Wilders' Freedom Party are neck and neck, with D66 on track to get 27 seats and Wilders' PVV close behind with 25 seats, according to an Ipsos I&O exit survey.
Led by 38-year-old Jetten, a former climate minister, D66 has surged in recent weeks with its pro-EU climate-focused agenda.
The party positioned itself as a moderate alternative to both Wilders' far right and the traditional conservatives.
