Biography
Rob Arnoldus Adrianus Jetten (Dutch: [ˈrɔp ˈjɛtə(n)]; born 25 March 1987) is a Dutch politician who has served as prime minister of the Netherlands since February 2026. He has also served as leader of the Democrats 66 (D66) since August 2023. Previously, he served in the fourth Rutte cabinet as Minister for Climate and Energy Policy from 2022 to 2024 and as First Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands in 2024.
Jetten began his political career as a policy advisor for D66 and as chair of the Young Democrats, and served in the municipal council of Nijmegen from 2010 to 2017. He was also elected to the House of Representatives in the 2017 general election and was chosen as D66's youngest-ever parliamentary leader in 2018. Following the resignation of Sigrid Kaag, Jetten became D66's leader ahead of the 2023 general election, in which D66 lost several seats, forcing them into opposition.
Jetten replaced Kaag as the outgoing First Deputy Prime Minister in 2024. In the 2025 general election, Jetten led D66 to its best-ever general election result as D66 became the joint-largest party in parliament. A four-month cabinet formation led to the minority Jetten cabinet in February 2026, which made Jetten the youngest person, and the first politician from D66 to serve as Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
