The Centre Party received 0.8% of the vote, winning one seat, which was taken by Hans Janmaat. This was the first time since World War II that a party considered to be right-wing extremist won a seat in the Dutch parliament.
Following the election the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) formed a coalition government with the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, with the CDA's Ruud Lubbers becoming Prime Minister.
