About Prime Minister of the Netherlands

The prime minister of the Netherlands or, before 1945, the chairman of the Council of Ministers is the head of government of the Netherlands. While the monarch is formally the head of state, they are a constitutional monarch, so the prime minister occupies this role as chair of the Council of Ministers, coordinating its policy with the rest of the cabinet. The prime minister also represents the Netherlands in the European Council, participating in deliberations that define the European Union's overall political direction. Rob Jetten is the current prime minister since 23 February 2026.
