President of the SenateAnkie Broekers-Knol

Between 9 June 2015 and 10 June 2019, 98 individuals served as representatives in the Senate, the 75-seat upper house of the States-General of the Netherlands. 75 representatives were elected in the 26 May 2015 Senate election and installed at the start of the term; 23 representatives were appointed as replacements when elected representatives resigned or went on leave.

During this period, the second and third Rutte cabinets reigned. The former coalition consisted of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD, 13 seats) and the Labour Party (PvdA, 8 seats). The opposition was composed of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA, 12 seats), Democrats 66 (D66, 10 seats), Party for Freedom (PVV, 9 seats), Socialist Party (SP, 9 seats), GroenLinks (GL, 4 seats), Christian Union (CU, 3 seats), Party for the Animals (PvdD, 2 seats), Reformed Political Party (SGP, 2 seats), 50PLUS (50+, 2 seats), and Independent Senate Group (OSF, 1 seat).

Members

[edit]

All members are sworn in at the start of the term, even if they are not new. Assumed office in this list therefore refers to the swearing in during this term (or return date of members who left), while all members are automatically considered to have left office at the end of the term.
