Which have, according to the Rutte Campaign, 100,000 more votes to be counted. "This election is simply too close to call, and until the Federal Electoral Comission recount is concluded, our campaign continues". Van Oranje released a statement early morning claiming that the absentee votes and Whitmark's overseas territories are already on the 100% that news outlets are showing on television. De Wever's Far Right Party for Freedom claimed the election was rigged for Van Oranje and called supporters to boycott the president-elect.

*On a statement the Federal Electoral Comission pointed Van Oranje was the president-elect of Whitmark. "Our electoral process foresees close elections and that's why we present 100% of the votes counted with no more than 12 hours after the polls have closed".
