GroenLinks–PvdA (nl; alternatively PvdA–GroenLinks, or GreenLeft–Labour in English), is an alliance between GroenLinks (GL; GreenLeft) and the Labour Party (PvdA) in the Netherlands.

Background

It was founded at the national level by party leaders Lilianne Ploumen and Jesse Klaver during the 2021–2022 Dutch cabinet formation. The two parties formed a joint parliamentary group in the Provincial Council of Zeeland in 29 March 2023, then formed a joint group in the Senate following the 2023 Dutch Senate election, and formed a joint group in the House of Representatives on 27 October 2023.[13]

After the collapse of the fourth Rutte cabinet in July 2023, the leaders of PvdA (Attje Kuiken) and GL (Jesse Klaver) announced their plans to run in the 2023 Dutch general election as an alliance.[14][15] Members of both PvdA and GroenLinks voted in favour of the proposal, and confirmed Frans Timmermans as lead candidate in August.[16]

New party

In June 2025, members from both parties voted in favour of a full merger into a new political party to be formed in 2026, along with an alliance for the 2025 Dutch general election.[17]
