Rob Jetten became the youngest Prime Minister of the Netherlands at the age of 38. A leader of the Democrats' 66 (D66) party, he assumed office after a closely contested election. His leadership marks a historic milestone in Dutch politics, breaking the previous record held by Ruud Lubbers, who became Prime Minister at 43. Jetten heads a minority coalition government and faces significant challenges, including negotiations on defence spending, asylum policy, healthcare reforms, and economic measures, requiring strong consensus-building and political coordination.
