GroenLinks major winner in Amsterdam elections
The votes in Amsterdam have been counted following the 2026 municipal elections. The results show that GroenLinks has once again become the largest party in the capital. The party won by a significant margin over the other political groups, ensuring their position in the city remains very strong.
It was not only GroenLinks that had reason to celebrate. The current coalition, the group of parties currently governing the city, also performed well among voters. In total, the coalition even gained one extra seat in the city council. This is an important signal for local politics in Amsterdam.
The victory for GroenLinks and the gains for the coalition show that many Amsterdammers are satisfied with the city's current course. It is likely that themes such as sustainability, urban greenery, and social equality will continue to play an important role in the capital's policy in the coming years.
Now that the official results are known, the formation of a new city government begins. The various parties will enter into discussions to see how they will collaborate over the next four years. Although GroenLinks is the largest, they need other parties to form a stable administration and carry out their plans for the city.
