TL;DR

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has announced that he will not seek the role of the Netherlands' next prime minister, despite his party winning the most votes in national elections last year. Wilders, known for his anti-immigration and Euroskeptic views, was unable to secure coalition support for the top job. Instead, a right-wing coalition is being considered, with Wilders and his Party for Freedom expected to remain a significant force behind the administration.
