The Netherlands will swear in a new government on Monday under centrist prime minister Rob Jetten.
Jetten, 38, has allocated several important ministries to his coalition partners, the centre-right CDA party and the liberal VVD, while his centrist D66 will oversee portfolios including education and agriculture.
Here is a run-down of some of the main faces in the new cabinet.
Berendsen, 42, has been a member of the European Parliament since 2019 and led the CDA's campaign in the 2024 EU elections.
The CDA describes him on its website as "calm and approachable" and someone who "knows how to form broad coalitions with people with diverse views and backgrounds".
Hailing from the southern Dutch city of Breda, Berendsen is "committed to Dutch and European interests", according to his party.
Before being elected as an MEP, he worked as a sustainability consultant for PwC in the Netherlands.
Yesilgoz, 48, became the first female head of the liberal VVD in 2023, succeeding former prime minister Mark Rutte.
She played a key role in coalition haggling after last year's election, refusing to work with the left-leaning Groenlinks/PvdA.
Yesilgoz was born in the Turkish capital Ankara and moved to the Netherlands as a child. Her father, a Kurdish human rights activist, came to the country to seek asylum.
She served as justice minister from 2022 to 2024 in the fourth Rutte cabinet, advocating tougher stances on crime, organised crime and immigration.
Former naval officer Van Weel, also from the VVD, held a series of ministerial posts in the last Dutch government led by Dick Schoof.
These included a stint as justice minister, during which he attracted attention by calling for legal limits on demonstrations.
Van Weel, 49, argued for a "sharper distinction between peaceful protest and disruptive actions", especially targeting road blocks by groups like Extinction Rebellion.
Following violence between locals and Israeli football supporters in Amsterdam in November 2024, Van Weel postponed and then strengthened a national antisemitism strategy.
Heinen, 44, also from the liberal VVD, has already been finance minister since July 2024.
He is seen as a fiscal hawk and on presenting the Dutch budget for 2025 declared that the "time of free money is really over".
In a quote on the government website, Heinen says his goal is for the Netherlands to "spend less and put our public finances in order".
"In this way we can protect people's wallets and avoid passing on the bill to future generations," he says.
The CDA's Heerma is a former judoka who won two Dutch junior championships and finished fifth at the 1996 Junior World Championships.
Heerma, 48, has had a long career as an MP for the CDA, first being elected in 2012.
This has included two terms as parliamentary leader and several senior party roles.
An agnostic, he was also the CDA's first non-Christian parliamentary leader until 2023.
Van Essen, from Jetten's D66, will have his work cut out at the agriculture ministry, managing a long‑running nitrogen crisis that has triggered major political tension and farmers' protests.
Courts have ruled that the government must sharply reduce nitrogen emissions, much of which stem from intensive livestock farming. This has forced policymakers to consider measures that farmers say could kill their livelihoods.
Born in 1991, Van Essen was a local politician in the central city of Deventer.
He is taking over the ministry from the right-wing populist BBB farmers' party, which lost seats in the October 2025 election.
