Henk Otten, the former Forum voor Democratie senator thrown out of the party for alleged financial impropriety, has decided not to take the vacant FvD seat in the lower house of parliament, even though he is entitled to do so.
The far right party has two seats in parliament but one MP, Theo Hiddema, resigned in the wake of the row over anti-Semitism. The next few candidate MPs on the list have also said they will not take Hiddema’s place, clearing the way for former member Otten to do so.
