Formation
Under informateurs Elbert Dijkgraaf and Richard van Zwol, the four parties (the right-wing populist PVV, the conservative liberal VVD, the Christian democratic NSC, and the agrarian BBB) reached the outline of a coalition agreement, titled "Hope, Courage, and Pride", on 16 May 2024. They agreed to form an extra-parliamentary cabinet, which they defined as a cabinet with a greater distance to parliamentary groups in the House of Representatives. Van Zwol was appointed formateur on 22 May. On 11 June, the four parties reached an agreement on the names of candidates and the distribution of ministerial posts. The cabinet consists of 29 members, the same amount as its predecessor, of which 16 are ministers. Three new ministerial posts were created, the Minister of Asylum and Migration, the Minister of Climate and Green Growth, and the Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning; and it includes one minister without portfolio, namely the (Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation).
Following the formation, the cabinet is tasked with expanding the outline of the coalition agreement into a governing agreement. The votes of coalition parties were not bound on issues not covered in the agreement, such as pensions, as long as they would not impact the budget.
